Peter Berkowitz offers ten reasons for the apparent confusion of messaging from the Trump administration toward Iran.
President Trump waived the Jones Act that requires shipping of goods on American ships between American ports. That waiver should expire.
A contrary view of the criticism that now attends the Memorandum of Understanding aimed at ending the Iran war.
Contrary to naysaying, the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran leaves that country in a weaker position and America stronger.
Iran is no stronger today than before the war, because the domestic crises that sparked four uprisings, remain.
Iran is more than an annoyance to the United States. It has based its future on becoming a regional bully - so someone must confront it.
Vice-President J. D. Vance has become the face of the administration on the Iran peace deal he and Trump recently signed.
The Straits of Hormuz are not like the Suez Canal, because American power is more resilient than was British power in the last century.
Donald Trump has many accomplishments to his credit in his second term, and the harms some allege are dubious at best.
The West must reckon with Iran now, with no further delay - because the longer the West delays, the easier for Iran.
