Trump Is Living His Final Days in the War against Iran
Palestinian writer and journalist Abdel Bari Atwan stated on Tuesday that President Donald Trump — who has repeatedly claimed he would destroy Iran and open the gates of hell against it without following through — will likewise backtrack on his recent threats to "wipe Iran from existence."* Atwan asserted that "America is heading toward a defeat greater than those in Vietnam and Afghanistan, and Trump is living his final days in this war."
Speaking during a phone interview on the radio program "Sabah El Ward" (“Morning of Roses”) on Jawhara FM, Atwan explained that Iran has not succumbed to American pressure. He noted that President Trump’s statements contradict his actions on the ground, in contrast to Iranian policy, which he characterized as being based on both words and deeds. Atwan added that "Iran possesses a civilizational heritage spanning thousands of years, compared to America, which is no more than 240 years old," further questioning, "Who is Trump to threaten to wipe Iran from existence?" Atwan emphasized that Iran has never compromised on its principled positions, particularly regarding its nuclear file, noting that this is not the first time Washington has mobilized its forces. Nevertheless, he remarked that experts account for Iranian superiority, as Iran is capable of confronting military threats thanks to its arsenal and technological development.
Atwan also noted the "absence of an effective official Arab role in this war," pointing out that 21 Arab countries issued a joint statement condemning Iranian attacks on Gulf nations, such as the United Arab Emirates, while conversely ignoring American strikes in Iran. Furthermore, Atwan reported that data indicate the U.S. economy is in a state of collapse, with American debt exceeding $44 trillion, placing the current president in a difficult position. He added that analyses suggest Trump’s policies focus on private interests and oil, without regard for the consequences for his allies.
