Alastair Crooke provides a nuanced analysis of the escalating tensions between Iran, Israel, and the U.S., examining the complex dynamics of Middle Eastern foreign policy under Donald Trump’s influence. Crooke discusses Netanyahu’s discussions with Trump to reinforce Israel’s alliances, while Trump navigates challenges in foreign policy from Mar-a-Lago amidst a politically unstable environment. Crooke highlights Iran’s growing assertiveness and potential for retaliation, which could inflict substantial damage on Israel. He warns of the risks involved in the neoconservative push for heightened pressure on Iran, questioning whether Trump can shift U.S. policies toward allies and adversaries.
