Donald Trump’s threats toward Iran have historically proven to be ineffective—something he would know if his advisers did their jobs or if he had any sense of history, one foreign policy expert says.
David Rothkopf, appearing on The Daily Beast Podcast, said the president’s options after a month of war have “become worse and worse,” in part because the Iranian regime, unlike the U.S., considers the war “existential.”
“We are willing to fight it out. We are willing to take the punishment. We know that we have time on our side, just like the Afghans did in a 20-year war, just like ISIS and Al-Qaeda did in a 20-year war,” Rothkopf told host Joanna Coles, from Iran’s point of view.
