Trump's claim of 'low-keying' negotiations reignites debate over US policy towards Iran
Suleiman Maswadeh, a commentator for Channel 13 News, addressed the developments with 103FM, warning that even the current statement does not necessarily indicate Trump's future direction.
US President Donald Trump's announcement that Washington plans to "low-key" its approach to Iran has reignited debate over the White House's evolving policy towards the Islamic Republic. Suleiman Maswadeh, a commentator on Channel 13 News, warned that even this statement does not necessarily signal the direction Trump may take in the future.
He attributed the president's changing stance to the upcoming November midterm elections, which pose a significant political challenge, and the economic pressure imposed on Iran by the American sanctions. Maswadeh also noted the gap between the initial negotiations and the current situation, where the deal is below the memorandum of understanding and not even between the US and Iran but between Oman and Iran.
Despite the current diplomatic efforts, Maswadeh believes the possibility of escalation remains due to Trump's unpredictable nature and Tehran's provocative statements. Regarding Israel, Maswadeh stated that Israel is in a strong position in Gaza, controlling almost 70% of the Strip, while acknowledging that Hamas is rebuilding its strength gradually.
Finally, Maswadeh addressed allegations against Rambam Health Care Campus staff, attributing the public attention to internal political struggles within the Likud party.
