That Iran might use all of its proxies to respond to such an attack is indeed a risk. But what’s more likely is that so long as the strikes only target military and nuclear sites, Ayatollah Khamenei will not risk escalation.” — Mike Pompeo HIGH STAKES TALKS WATCH: Dr. Wurmser: Dissecting Trump’s Iran Strategy: Center […]

Mike Pompeo The Free Press, Apr. 18, 2025 “This “war or deal” narrative is being peddled by many of the “populist” Tucker Carlson-esque isolationists who have burrowed inside President Trump’s orbit. They repeat this mantra, exactly as President Barack Obama and Secretary John Kerry repeated endlessly—and wrongly.” In early April, President Trump reportedly “waved off” an Israeli […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Apr. 17, 2025 “… what would be the American goal in any negotiations with Iran? Should it be the complete elimination of Iran’s nuclear program or merely an effort to slow down or impose restrictions on the regime’s ability to refine uranium?” It’s too soon to declare the Trump administration’s policy […]
Kamran Bokhari Geopolitical Futures, Apr. 17, 2025 “Once Khamenei is out of the picture, the military – itself divided between the ideological Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the more professional Artesh (regular armed forces) – will likely replace the clergy as the regime’s core.” The Trump administration’s diplomacy with Iran is about much more than […]

Michael Doran WSJ, Apr. 11, 2025 “If Syria became like Jordan—a buffer between hostile powers—everyone would win.” Ending Iran’s nuclear-weapons program may be President Trump’s top goal for stabilizing the Middle East, but his biggest test lies in Syria. Ahmed al-Sharaa, the former rebel who overthrew the Assad regime four months ago, presides over a weak […]
Dr. Michael Milshtein Ynet News, Apr. 13, 2025 “I have great relations with Turkey. Erdogan likes me, and I like him. If you have a problem with him, I’ll fix it.” The Israeli government continues to avoid clearly articulating its strategy in the Syrian arena. In the absence of a formal policy, observers are left […]
Jerome Drevon Foreign Affairs, Apr. 11, 2025 “,,, it does not look as if Syria is about to once again become a one-state autocracy, even if that were an outcome that Shara secretly wanted. What is emerging under Shara is a government that has elements of both authoritarian rule and more federated, decentralized organization.” In […]
Loveday Morris and Souad Mekhennet Washington Post, Apr. 12, 2025 “There is a huge stockpile in Syria that Hezbollah is trying to move out of Syria. They know where those are, and they are working with Syrian networks to get them out.” From the front seat of a black GMC truck, Maher Ziwani, the Syrian […]
