Donald Trump, despite his self-proclaimed mastery of deal-making and crisis management, appears "paralysed by indecision" in the ongoing confrontation with Iran. The article contrasts his image as a tough leader, ready to face down villains, with his struggle to conclude a deal, which he perceives as a defeat for himself and the United States.
This situation echoes Hillary Clinton's 2008 "3 a.m. phone call" ad, which emphasized the need for a cool head, a grasp of stakes, and diplomatic skill in managing international crises like the Cuban Missile Crisis. Trump's inability to resolve the Iran issue, despite claims of imminent agreements that often existed only in his imagination or were rejected by him, is ultimately his responsibility. This failure persists even with an inadequate negotiating team like Witkoff/Kushner and limited engagement from the Secretary of State and Vice-President. He has reportedly pressured Israel, a supposed ally, to maintain the prospect of a deal.
