Despite Trump's eulogies, the reports of the Iran deal's death are greatly exaggerated
The U.S. president is talking about 'old' and 'new' sanctions, but Tehran has decades of experience under such regimes and now the blockaded Strait of Hormuz, leaving the memorandum of understanding a source for diplomacy
President Donald Trump finds himself in an awkward position regarding the U.S.-Israel war against Iran, which has now reached the six-month mark. This milestone is particularly challenging for the Republican leader, as he had repeatedly assured Americans that the conflict would be a "little excursion" lasting only a few weeks. Despite this, Trump maintains that the war has already had a significant impact on Iran, claiming that through bombings and blockades, he has devastated the country's leadership, military, and economy.
Recently, the administration announced a shift in strategy, focusing on increasing economic pressure on Iran through sanctions aimed at punishing any country or entity that continues to engage in business with Tehran. This change in approach comes as the U.S. munitions stockpile dwindles, raising concerns that the prolonged conflict could weaken U.S. military readiness in other parts of the world.
As the war drags on, Trump's earlier predictions of a swift conclusion to the conflict appear to be losing momentum.
