Arabic version: قرار ترامب يثير جدلاً حول الدبلوماسية مع إيران

Trita Parsi, Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute, has criticized former President Donald Trump’s approach to Iran, stating that he “chose an avoidable war over a good deal.” According to Al Jazeera, Parsi highlighted that Iran had offered major nuclear concessions that could have led to a strong diplomatic victory for the U.S.

Parsi argues that instead of pursuing these diplomatic opportunities, Trump opted for escalation in the conflict with Iran. This decision is seen as a move toward seeking submission from Iran rather than advancing U.S. interests through negotiation.

The commentary raises questions about the effectiveness of the U.S. foreign policy strategy under Trump, particularly regarding its impact on relations with Iran. Critics suggest that a more diplomatic approach could have yielded better outcomes for both nations.
