David Pyne: Trump's Deranged Drive for WW3 with Iran
•
Trump swayed by pro-Israel figures; risks war with Iran; diplomacy eroding.
Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:
- Do you believe Donald Trump is being influenced by pro-Israel figures in his administration?
- Could Trump’s actions lead to a broader conflict with Iran and potentially World War III?
- Is Netanyahu gaining any real strategic advantage from attacking Iran?
- How significant is the role of international institutions like IAEA being undermined in this conflict?
- Can Trump still change course, or is he set on escalating tensions with Iran?
David Pyne:
- Yes, Trump is heavily influenced by neoconservatives and pro-Israel figures like Rubio, Waltz, and Ratcliffe.
- Yes, Trump’s escalation could provoke Iran, Russia, and China, risking a global conflict.
- Netanyahu may gain short-term victories, but long-term consequences will likely be devastating for Israel.
- The erosion of institutions like the IAEA undermines global diplomacy and trust in international frameworks.
- Trump can still pivot, but only if pressured by allies and supporters who oppose war with Iran.
