United States President Donald Trump can force Israel to end the war on Gaza if he shows the same gumption as he did with Iran, argues Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
Parsi discusses the wider implications of the 12-day war on Iran with host Steve Clemons, including:
- Will Iran double down on its nuclear weapons programme?
- Will improved Iran-US relations lead to sanctions relief?
- Why did European leaders legitimise the unprovoked US and Israeli attacks, instead of calling for the “rules-based order” as they do in Ukraine?
- Does Iran have allies?
