Trump’s Iran Trap: Why Every Path Leads to Greater Risk

 

Trump’s Iran Trap: Why Every Path Leads to Greater Risk

Donald Trump may command the world’s most powerful military, but today he faces an enemy that understands something equally powerful: time.

Iran no longer needs to defeat America on the battlefield. It only needs to make every available option so politically, economically and militarily painful that Washington hesitates. If that is Tehran’s strategy, it may already be working.


How Many Times Are We Going to Play the Exact Same Game?

The same pattern keeps repeating over and over again. U.S. military assets are moved into the Middle East and President Trump threatens to attack Iran harder than ever before. At the end of last week, I told my core supporters that everything was ready for a very large wave of airstrikes. But then as we have seen so many times before, Trump decided not to pull the trigger at the last moment and he claimed that Iran had asked to make a deal. And as we have seen so many times before, the Iranians denied asking for any sort of a deal and insisted that they have not agreed to make any of the concessions that Trump is seeking.
