4:45Now PlayingC-SPAN's "Ceasefire" — Former Biden official Steve Ricchetti and former Trump official Mick Mulvaney discuss President Trump's Wednesday address to the nation on the Iran war.
"I think there is no clear sense of what the endgame here is, and this kind of erratic explanation and articulation of what we're doing here is really causing support in the country to vaporize," Mr. Ricchetti said.
Mr. Mulvaney said he "likes to think" there's a plan for the war but is "not sure," and that he was concerned with President Trump's call for other countries to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
"The two things I struggle with during the speech is that it would be easy, because it's not. And that it would happen naturally. I don't know what that means," he said. "Here's what I do know: If we leave with the straits closed and say, well, it's Europe's problem or it's China's problem, what that means is that we are putting our economic health into someone else's hands."
