Trump swayed by pro-Israel figures; risks war with Iran; diplomacy eroding.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. Do you believe Donald Trump is being influenced by pro-Israel figures in his administration?
2. Could Trump’s actions lead to a broader conflict with Iran and potentially World War III?
3. Is Netanyahu gaining any real strategic advantage from attacking Iran?
4. How significant is the role of international institutions like IAEA being undermined in this conflict?
5. Can Trump still change course, or is he set on escalating tensions with Iran?

David Pyne:

1. Yes, Trump is heavily influenced by neoconservatives and pro-Israel figures like Rubio, Waltz, and Ratcliffe.
2. Yes, Trump’s escalation could provoke Iran, Russia, and China, risking a global conflict.
3. Netanyahu may gain short-term victories, but long-term consequences will likely be devastating for Israel.
4. The erosion of institutions like the IAEA undermines global diplomacy and trust in international frameworks.
5. Trump can still pivot, but only if pressured by allies and supporters who oppose war with Iran.
