The article argues that even if Trump wants to exit the conflict, his decisions ensure he will still emerge as the main loser in terms of strategy, reputation, and regional stability.The piece explains that:- Trump dismantled the nuclear deal without a credible alternative, damaging U.S. reliability and pushing Iran to restart nuclear activities.  &#8211; Sanctions and military moves hurt Iran but failed to produce regime capitulation or better behavior, instead encouraging escalation and proxy attacks.  &#8211; America\u2019s allies see Washington as unpredictable, while Iran\u2019s leaders can claim resistance and survival as a kind of victory.  &#8211; Trump\u2019s focus on appearing tough, rather than on clear goals, leaves no coherent path to peace or lasting advantage for the U.S.The conclusion is that Trump\u2019s approach to Iran shows that military and economic power, used without strategy or diplomacy, cannot deliver success; force alone may win battles but can still lose a war politically and morally.What length of summary do you prefer next time: 1\u20132 sentences, or about one short paragraph?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>America\u2019s Iran policy under Trump is described as incoh [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cyber3hk.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cyber3hk.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cyber3hk.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyber3hk.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyber3hk.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=334"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyber3hk.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":336,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyber3hk.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334\/revisions\/336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cyber3hk.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyber3hk.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cyber3hk.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
