Iran Researcher: 'Trump is simply insane'

Beni Sabti, an Iran researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), sharply criticized the U.S. administration and President Donald Trump during an interview with 103FM, arguing that Washington’s approach reflects weakness in dealing with Tehran.

Sabti accused the American leadership of sending mixed signals, saying: “All these games of give-and-take and delaying tactics create an ugly struggle that is difficult to resolve. There is a good cop and a bad cop; in Iran, suddenly there are more radicals and then fewer. The man is not sane. Trump is simply not sane."

During the interview, Sabti said that a regime change in Iran is unlikely in the near term and that Tehran’s leadership could actually strengthen once it receives additional funds. He cited remarks by Iran’s president that the country had managed in recent months to sell 36 million barrels of oil, with 20 million barrels transferred to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to help cover budget shortfalls.

This is why the whole "Trump is turning on Israel!" is a mistake. He's not turning on Israel. He's turning on anyone standing behind him and getting out of Iran with a great peace deal, an amazing deal, best ever in a bigly way! That includes Israel because of Hezbollah but it also includes Iran.
