Is Trump’s Iran Policy Meant to Start a War?

"Greetings,

Much indicates that the likely murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi will be transformative for Saudi-U.S. relations. But whether it will affect the one issue where Saudi pressure on the United States was the greatest—Iran—is unclear. The Iran strategy favored by MBS, and eagerly adopted by the White House, will likely lead to a military confrontation regardless of whether its assumption that Iran is about to collapse is true or not.

Sina Azodi and I write about this in the National Interest today.

Sincerely,

Trita Parsi, PhD"
