그가 외교적으로 관여하는 데 관심이 없다고 말한 것을 감안하면, 이란-걸프 채널이 없는 것보다 실재할 가능성이 더 클 수도 있다.
영어에서 번역됨One might imagine in a galaxy far far away faced with most serious crisis since Saddam invaded Kuwait, Gulf states might actually come together. But back here on planet earth, not possible. It's why an Arab Nato, a meaningful GCC; or even a unified front vs, Iran won't happen.
.@Rachel_Chason @washingtonpost Trump’s Iran morass deepens as his war of choice becomes Iran’s of necessity keeping US in box Trump created for himself. https://t.co/i8gHLQbKd5
We should be under no illusions about Iranian ambitions. They may be seriously overreaching But . these guys are looking to create a new economic/political/security reality shaped by Tehran and its proxies. Trump opened box; and look what's coming out.
This isn’t the Trump-Netanyahu relationship in Trump 1.0 where Trump showered him with goodies. Trump hasn’t abandoned Bibi yet. But he’s chosen not to embrace or endorse him. Six weeks ago before a critical election, Trump may be preparing to let Netanyahu fend for himself.
There are few compelling reasons why this war can't persist well into 2027. Massive escalation or a deal giving Iran control of straits aren't in cards. The long dynamic of economic attrition is. https://t.co/uYKjAh4nxC
A welocme move; but still virtue signalling. Britian unwilling to sanction 2 Israeli ministers responsible for activities London is opposing. The impact will be negligible; wanted a different government in Israel. Where is Germany by the way? https://t.co/V4GIBuWw7V
.@el72champs Unclear how decisive this recent Bibi revelation will be. Polls have remained really consistent with neither Netanyahu coalition or opposition able to form a government. Could this push enough of the roughly 17% of undecided against him?https://t.co/ifRXCa1jhy
Rising oil prices reflects whatever US operational successes in restoring oil flow through Straits, Trump's war of choice evolved into an Iranian war of necessity w/Tehran more risk ready than ever determined not to let Trump out of box he put himself in. https://t.co/Txb4W48H0b
Trump’s small potatoes remark on Iran war sums up callousness and disregard he holds for public/military service. The war isn’t small potatoes for 18 mewomen killed; not for their families whose lives will never be same; not for thousands of Americans exposed to Iran’s missiles.
Two things are pretty clear. Iran’s willingness to launch against US Navy ship directly reflects new a risk readiness; and US response is unlikely to change Iran’s core calculations. 1 +1 =escalation. https://t.co/oATDAEhQt6
Who said Trump Administration doesn't have a strategy. 😶It sounds pretty reasonable. The question based on its strategic diplomatic malpractice in past, is there focus, leverage and partners to make it work. One thing is clear -it won't work with a right-wing Netanyahu in power.
They can investigate all they want. Six months on -unless I missed it - there's still no US accounting or accountability for US strikes on the school in Minab. It makes sense too for journalists to keep this context front and center.
Iran is playing for time - rebuilding ballistic/drone capacity; nuclear infrastructure; avoiding negotiations on nuclear issue and squeezing maximum leverage on Straits all on assumption US won’t return to full-scale war.
This would be a very heavy lift for James Baker and Henry Kissinger. Wish them luck. But their record on Ukraine; Gaza and Iran aren’t confidence builders.
A must read column @mkoplow @IsraelPolicy4m Israel’s falling stock in US is a result of Israeli policies. Old slogans; victimhood; what aboutism; social media influencers won’t help. Only changes in US policy will. https://t.co/BMuoJFpUR5
6 months in, this US war of choice has turned into an Iranian war of necessity as it rebuilds its ballistic and cruise missiles; and perhaps its nuclear infrastructure.
Trump now believes he’s found a winning strategy- blockade; sanctions; weakening Iran’s hold over Straits. But none of it offers a pathway out; a focus on Iran’s nukes; and risks escalation. Wash, rinse, repeat. The war goes on…..and on.
Fascinating how things change and still remain same. Trump believes he now has advantage and the combo of blockade; sanctions; strikes is a winning strategy and will create an advantageous status quo. We’ll see if Iran agrees.
What we’re watching now is a closed strait evolve into a more congested one. There’s no way out right now since both sides believe time’s on n their side and both, especially Iran believe they have an option to escalate. No reason we can’t be here a month’s time.
That Gulf states in wake of this war could not manage to create a functional alliance and the only alignment emerging was a Turkey added Saudi-Pakistan defense pact speaks volumes about Gulf rivalries, dysfunction, fears.https://t.co/HEFeEr0ALZ
The Iranians are reading this too. Betting if they can weather economic blockade/sanctions too they can outwait/outlast the Administration. Still no stable end state on the horizon. https://t.co/OLI2n8GTGr
If part of Trump Administration's calculations for crushing Iran's economy is to encourage popular unrest and demonstrations against regime, it's a pretty cynical play, given thousands killed by a murderous regime in January. Despite Trump's promise, help was not on way.
It would be fascinating to know how much of that increased flow is Iranian oil. Is the US going after Iranian oil exports to China? https://t.co/HjzBbkPnVA
6 months into the war, Groucho's line is apt - who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes? None of Administration's goals - regime change; recovering HEU; denying Iran capacity to produce a nuke; ending ballistic threat have been achieved - gaslighting notwithstanding
