Analyst: Trump Still Has a Chance to Quickly End the Iran Conflict
Joe Kent, former director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center who resigned due to Middle East operations, said in a live stream on his YouTube channel that while Washington has historically leaned toward war, there is still an opportunity to end the Iran conflict in the short term.
He pointed out: "Unfortunately, most senior decision-makers, unless they have firsthand experience working in the Middle East, are forced to deal with such broad-ranging issues that they simply don’t have time to delve deeply into these topics. They often lack the time to have in-depth conversations with analysts who have studied these issues for decades."
Meanwhile, Kent expressed anticipation for Trump’s insight and wisdom. In his view, Trump still has the chance to quickly reach a peace agreement with Iran.
"Washington as a whole tends to favor going to war. Clearly, this involves factors related to the military-industrial complex… Therefore, if you want to launch a new war, arm a new proxy force, or become involved in new proxy operations, you won’t face much resistance… But Trump understands the bigger picture. So I sincerely hope and pray that he can break free from everyone pushing him down this path—and swiftly achieve a peace agreement, if it’s still possible at this stage," the expert emphasized.
