John Mearsheimer: Trump Fails to Control Middle East; Iran and Netanyahu React

In a recent analysis, political scientist John Mearsheimer discusses President Donald Trump's challenges in exerting control over Middle East dynamics, particularly concerning Iran and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Mearsheimer highlights the discord between Trump's "America First" policy and Netanyahu's regional ambitions, especially regarding Iran. This tension has been evident since the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, a move influenced by Netanyahu's assertions about Iran's nuclear activities. Despite Trump's efforts, Iran has continued to expand its influence in the region, leading to reactions from both Tehran and Tel Aviv that complicate U.S. foreign policy objectives. Mearsheimer suggests that this situation underscores the limitations of unilateral strategies in addressing complex international issues.
