Tactics without strategy: How Trump’s weakness and Netanyahu’s self-interest exploded in IranThe attacks bore the twin hallmarks of Israeli military actions under Netanyahu: Tactically brilliant but lacking any strategic vision
The president had asked Israel to hold off. Now he’s scrambling to make a deal in negotiations that have become even more complex.
This deal isn’t just about nuclear weapons. It’s about the future of the Middle East, the credibility of US foreign policy, and the strength of American leadership.
