Iran Crisis Test and Trump’s Foreign Policy
Trump’s policy towards Iran, rather than reinforcing Gulf confidence in the United States’ reliability as a guarantor of regional security, has sparked a wait-and-see attitude and nagging doubts about US reliability, wrote Dr James M. Dorsey, a senior fellow at NTU’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies. If anything, risky US and Iranian strategies are likely to prove that the crisis can only be defused if both sides garner an understanding of the others’ objectives and some degree of confidence that both parties would remain committed to any agreement they conclude, he wrote.
