Trump is between Zionist cunning and Iranian cleverness, facing two choices: either leaving power or leaving life

What was the “biggest mistake” he made that put him in danger?

Observing the “fragile” condition of calm around the American-Israeli aggression against Iran suggests that President Donald Trump wishes to escape the war quagmire that Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration have thrown him into.

in any manner and as soon as possible, since he understands that all the strategies he has employed—such as intensifying threats to the point of exaggeration—have failed to terrorise the Iranian leadership and compel it to make significant concessions, particularly regarding the nuclear issue. Rather, they have had the opposite effect, strengthening Iranian resolve and demonstrating the wisdom of his war management, notably by extending its duration and doubling its human and economic costs.

Several important points support this theory:

• First: After the Iranian delegation withdrew from the first round of negotiations in Islamabad after 21 hours, adhering to all of its nuclear positions and confirming that it would neither negotiate under threats of force nor retreat a millimetre from its positions summarised in the ten points it presented in response to the American counterpart consisting of 15 points, Trump temporarily abandoned the threat language, which had depleted its entire dictionary from its abundance, especially those that spoke of opening the gates of hell, destroying all power plants, and sending Iran back to the Stone Age.

• Second, the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, visited Islamabad, and the White House enthusiastically welcomed him, ordering Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to travel to the Pakistani capital. The White House believed that Mr. Araghchi had come to negotiate and meet with the American team. In direct response to Trump’s statement to Reuters that Iran was making an offer intended to satisfy Washington’s demands, Mr. Araghchi confirmed that he was on a tour that included Pakistan, Oman, and Russia and had nothing to do with negotiations. This greatly disappointed the White House.

• Third: Trump should refrain from reiterating his dismal record, which fosters the notion of fractures among the Iranian leadership by asserting that Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the head of the negotiating delegation, has quit or been fired. He was slapped by an Iranian, indicating that the leadership is united and that Mr. Qalibaf has not resigned from his role as head of the negotiation group. The idea of two camps, one moderate and the other hardline, is just a pipe fantasy in America.

• Fourth, the negotiations have come to an end for several reasons, chief among them being Iran’s unwavering stance on the nuclear issue, which is summed up in its sovereign right to enrich uranium and refuse to transfer its stockpile of uranium enriched to more than 60% to the United States or any other nation; this stockpile will remain in Iran.

• Fifth: Iran reacts to American haughtiness and threats with deeds rather than words. In reaction to the American blockade of its ports, it promptly closed the Strait of Hormuz and demanded that the blockade be lifted in exchange for the strait’s reopening.

• Sixth: Iran’s military preparedness to deal with any resumption of the war and the threat of using new weapons, particularly against the three American aircraft carriers, “George W. Bush,” “Abraham Lincoln,” and “Gerald Ford,” as well as the closure of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the entrance to the Red Sea, frightened Trump and caused a dispute with his military leadership, who rejected this recklessness. Trump is the one who extended the two-week truce and the unilateral ceasefire without any direct or indirect request from Iran.

Additionally, five generals resigned due to their opposition to any confrontation with Iran, including the Secretary of the Navy, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the director of the intelligence body responsible for fighting international terrorism. It was not the Iranian military leadership that was divided, but rather the American military leadership. America currently finds itself in a risky strategic position due to Trump’s leadership and an administration filled with brokers and nepotism.

Iran defends its land, sovereignty, and dignity against an American-Israeli invasion that has failed to defeat or subdue it for the third time; unlike the US government, it is not in a rush. Trump responded swiftly when he vowed to resume combat immediately and began assembling his missiles if the ceasefire was not extended to Lebanon as well. In the past, he had rejected this scenario and told Netanyahu to obey right away, without consulting anyone or calling a meeting of his military cabinet to explain the decision.

The most significant error made by Trump and his leadership, which exposed his weakness, cowardice, and fear of going back to war, is that he lacks knowledge of geography and history, is unfamiliar with Iran and its people, and confuses its leadership with that of their Arab counterparts, whom he disparages and commands without consulting.

The leaders of the U.S. military’s various branches—air, ground, and naval—have become aware of the efficacy, advancement, and modernity of the Iranian response, and they do not wish to repeat this army’s defeats in Afghanistan and Iraq and suffer significant losses that are morally, financially, and humanly costly. As a result, they chose to distance themselves from their president’s “adventures” in deference to Israeli directives and strategies.

Trump fell into two very dangerous traps, the first being Israeli cunning and the second being Iranian guile. He found himself alone, and even his closest European allies abandoned him, not offering him a “lifeline” and leaving him to drown. He is now faced with two options: either stepping down from power or perhaps stepping out of life. The “cowboy” culture he embraces is still present. And God knows best.
