Questions are mounting over White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, whose gatekeeping is blamed for shutting war skeptics out of the Iran decision — bad news for the restrainers inside Trump's own team.

• Before joining the administration, Wiles was a major lobbyist whose client work included Netanyahu, a tie only reported later by the Washington Post.
• She controls what reaches the president: meetings and information flow through her.
• When the Iran war was launched on February 28, the room at Mar-a-Lago held Wiles, Marco Rubio, John Ratcliffe and Trump.
• The skeptics — JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard and Joe Kent — were kept outside the decision.

Outlook: Expect the fight over who gets access to Trump to become the main battleground for anyone hoping to pull back from the Iran war.
