In a wide-ranging analysis, Arabic Desk analyst Abu Salah argues that the recent Gulf exchanges were expected, that Trump's advisers are inexperienced with Iran, and that the war with Iran has only just begun. He warns that the current calm is deceptive and that the conflict will continue across multiple fronts.
Arabic Desk analyst Abu Salah, who in a previous analysis assessed that Trump's enforcer style would shape the Iran deal, now offers a broader critique. He asserts that Trump's amateur advisers failed to brief him on the realities of Iran, and that the recent Gulf exchanges were a predictable outcome of US-Iran negotiations. He warns that the war with Iran has only just begun and will continue across Gaza, Lebanon, Judea and Samaria, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria. The analysis, posted on the Arabic Desk channel, reflects a view that the current calm is deceptive and that the conflict is far from over.
