Why Did Trump Change His Stance on Iran Under Pressure from Israel?
What’s behind this alliance…
Trump caved.
Period.
There’s no going around it or making up lame excuses to disguise this reality, the man who branded himself as the ultimate dealmaker, the one who would fix everything with his charm and genius agreements, just completely surrendered to Netanyahu’s pressure.
And this, my friends, is politics in its rawest, most brutal form.
This happened because the story is a lot dirtier than what they’re feeding you on the news. Trump began his term with one clear goal: he was going to solve the Iranian issue through diplomacy.

He wanted his moment of historical glory to be the president who brought peace to the Middle East.
But Netanyahu had other plans.
