Скачать или смотреть US-Iran tensions: How Trump was dragged into war

David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, argues that US President Donald Trump is being propelled into a full-scale war with Iran—one that neither Washington nor Israel will be able to control.

Hearst compares Trump’s approach to Iran with that of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who miscalculated his invasion of Ukraine, highlighting the risks of overconfidence and insulated decision-making.

He adds that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been actively advocating for a war with Iran, which he believes could become “the nemesis of both Trump and Netanyahu.”
