  • Expert: Trump's Hostility Towards Iran Has Deep Roots; US-Israel Leadership Lacks Historical Foundation and Acumen

    On April 22, according to Al Jazeera, Brian Clark, Director of Defense Concepts at the Hudson Institute in Washington, stated: "Trump has expressed disdain for the Iranian leadership for many years, and he seems to have been seeking a legacy initiative that could permanently change Iran, making it at least a 'neutral or even friendlier country towards the US.' Therefore, from this perspective, it is indeed not a new goal he suddenly started pursuing. The leadership of the US and Israel believes that now might be the time to finally subdue the Iranian regime, as it is in a passive position. However, this may reflect a lack of historical foundation and acumen in the US-Israel leadership, as Iran is not a country that can easily have its existing leadership structure overthrown."
