# Trump Weighs Major Cabinet Shake-Up as Iran War Pressure Mounts

**Washington (TDI):** US President Donald Trump is considering a broader cabinet reshuffle amid mounting political pressure linked to the ongoing war with Iran, according to multiple sources familiar with internal White House discussions, Reuters reported on Saturday.

The potential shake-up comes after the recent removal of Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Officials say the changes are being viewed as a possible reset for the administration at a time when the conflict, now in its fifth week, has contributed to rising gas prices, declining approval ratings, and growing concerns ahead of upcoming midterm elections.

Among those reportedly under scrutiny are Tulsi Gabbard and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, though no final decisions have been made. White House spokespeople have stated that Trump maintains confidence in his cabinet members, describing the administration’s team as delivering strong results.

According to insiders, Trump has expressed frustration with both the political fallout from the war and what he perceives as unfavorable media coverage. His recent televised address to the nation was intended to project control over the situation but was viewed by some officials as falling short of expectations, further fueling discussions about possible personnel or messaging changes.

The administration is reportedly weighing whether to proceed with a “targeted churn” rather than a full-scale overhaul, reflecting a cautious approach after frequent staffing changes during Trump’s first term drew criticism for creating instability.

Public opinion appears to be a factor in the deliberations. Recent polling shows overall approval of Trump’s performance at relatively low levels, with a majority of respondents expressing disapproval of the US-Israel decision to engage in conflict with Iran. Officials noted that while core supporters remain aligned with the president, economic pressures, particularly rising fuel costs, are having a broader impact on public sentiment.

Despite the internal discussions, some advisers caution that frequent or highly visible changes could themselves become politically costly. For now, the possibility of a reshuffle remains under consideration, with sources suggesting that additional changes beyond recent removals may still be forthcoming as the administration navigates both domestic political challenges and the ongoing conflict.
