Washington: US President Donald Trump is facing escalating scrutiny over the consistency and coherence of his Middle East policy, particularly after a series of contradictory statements regarding Iran’s military capabilities. Trump has shifted between claiming that US forces have “decimated” and “obliterated” Iran’s military, and then asserting in a weekend interview with his daughter-in-law Lara Trump that Washington deliberately chose not to eliminate Iran’s military entirely. He argued that destroying Iran’s military would have left the US with no credible negotiating partner, while describing Iran’s military as “moderate.” Analysts and observers, accustomed to seeking clear policy frameworks, now describe the White House as resembling a reality television set where victory announcements are made even as the backdrop collapses.
