Trump accuses Abdul of being tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, yet accepts a $400 million plane from Qatar, a country that supports the Muslim Brotherhood. The irony is hard to miss!

The most powerful man in Iraq is Grand Ayatollah Sistani, the spiritual leader of millions of Shia Muslims in Iran and Iraq. Iranโs fate is deeply intertwined with Iraq, and Sistani will not stand by if Iran falls. Trump knows this war could quickly become regional and sectarian, and spiral out of control.
When Saddam Hussein started the Iran war in September 1980, he reportedly boasted that heโd be having lunch in Tehran within a week. Instead, the war lasted 8 years, costing hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives, and Iraq failed to achieve its ultimate objective.
Trump is repeating the same mistake: underestimating Iran, confusing tough talk with strategy, and selling a quick victory that may never come.
Iran wonโt be intimidated by bluster. This war could haunt Trump for the rest of his term.
