Abu Salah, editor of The Zioneer's Arabic Desk, writes that the Iranian embassy in Tunis published a statement asserting that Trump's principles are irrelevant and that profit is his compass. According to Abu Salah, the statement reflects Tehran's effort to portray Trump as a leader driven by market calculations, not strategy.
The Iranian embassy in Tunis published a statement asserting that President Trump's principles are irrelevant and that profit is his compass. The statement, as cited by Abu Salah, editor of The Zioneer's Arabic Desk, argues that Trump does not speak the language of strategy or principles, but rather the language of profit and loss. According to the embassy, every important decision is determined by market conditions — when Wall Street matters, war drums fall silent, and when numbers appear, the speech changes. For Trump, the statement concludes, geopolitics is just another budget line item. Abu Salah assesses that the statement is part of a broader Iranian campaign to humiliate Trump across platforms, signaling that the regime views the US president as lacking a strategic framework.
