The Issue: President Trump’s approach to the war with Iran as peace talks continue.

President Trump’s threat to “finish up” in Iran shouldn’t be surprising. The president said the war was “very close” to being over, yet we’ve seen little progress (“Don’s war of words,” April 24).

The Trump administration’s strategy has been clear: Assert that America is dominating this war — even if the narrative is at odds with reality. The war in Iran is unlikely to be “finishing up” any time soon.

Trump should stop declaring early victories before he ends up with a moment akin to George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” embarrassment in Iraq.

I’m a big Trump supporter. However, he’s not a negotiator but a bluffer; he threatens but ultimately doesn’t deliver.

He says that the Iranians are defeated, and he’s dealing with a changed regime. He also says if the Iranians don’t come to an agreement, he’ll restart the war and send them back to the Stone Age. These are all bluffs. Unfortunately, the Iranians called his latest bluff and even raised the stakes.

It’s time for Trump to show he has the cards to win the war and not just declare a false victory. Or, he should pick up what chips he has left and walk away from the table.

Trump has given Iran more than enough time to fully agree with his terms. The regime in turn used that time to regroup and rearm itself.

It appears that no Iranian official wants to sign his name on a peace document. That might be a death sentence.

Trump is jeopardizing his attempt to resolve the crisis in the Middle East. He’s a big fibber in his statements of timely resolutions.

Unfortunately, our government does not understand the culture in the Middle East, whether it is Iraq, Iran or Afghanistan. We cannot impose our will in the Middle East. It’s a no-brainer.

There’s only one language those savages in Iran understand: violence. The only mistake Trump’s made so far was stopping the bombing and letting them breathe.

The Iranian people won’t rise up and fight for themselves, so it’s up to us again.

The Issue: The impacts of Mayor Mamdani’s city-run grocery store on local bodegas and supermarkets.

Mayor Mamdani plans to spend $30 million on a grocery store (“Zo’s ‘groce’ injustice to merchants,” Steve Cuozzo, April 24).

That’s what Democrats do — tax and spend. Socialist Democrats like the mayor tax people and spend money like they’re on steroids.

Where is Mamdani’s fiscal responsibility as our mayor? He has none. Putting our city in bankruptcy is no big deal to him.

As Mayor Mamdani moves forward with his plans to build a “utopian” 9,000-square-foot mar­ket, local mom-and-pop storeowners are fretting about how they will stay in business despite having served their community and paid taxes for decades.

I think the city-run supermarket isn’t supposed to make money, but have its sole purpose be to lose money as long as it punishes for-profit supermarkets.

The grocery cannot compete with private enterprises, but can take over their ventures for “the public good.” Then, when competition is gone, it can adjust its pricing in order to keep it open.

Let’s hope this doesn’t become an example of predatory pricing.
