"Only Khamenei and his regime can make the big course corrections that are rightfully demanded and entirely necessary or, ultimately, the Iranian people will step in. We can help them make that decision so the world becomes safer faster."

** President Trump and the Middle East: How Trump Beat Nature, and How Nature Beat Iran ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------


** By Benjamin Weil / February 28, 2020
------------------------------------------------------------

"Throughout Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, he has made many promises ([link removed]) related to foreign policy, or ones that are closely linked to US bilateral relations with foreign countries; Renegotiating the NAFTA trade agreement, reversing President Obama’s Cuba policy, building a wall on the US-Mexico border, and more. In particular, President Trump has focused on the Middle East, trying to solve many disputes and problems in the region by adopting a different approach than his predecessor. He promised to renegotiate the Iran deal, defeat ISIS within 30 days, move the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and introduce a Peace Plan between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

Since taking office, President Trump has made sure to leave his mark in the Middle East. The US left the JCPOA agreement, posed sanctions on Iran, moved the Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, recognized the Golan Heights, (partially) withdrew from the Kurdish area in Syria, assassinated Qasem Soleimani, and rolled out the Peace Plan, just to mention a few. Each of these moves have already left their mark – in many cases it led to an immediate result and in others it is one step in a long process. There are two processes currently developing in the Middle East which I would like to address; in one of them President Trump has done something that seemed unnatural in the past, and in the other nature has done what President Trump couldn’t do."
