No one can ignore one fact about Donald Trump and American policy: when some countries, unwillingly or hastily, cede their space and territory to external provocateurs, sooner or later they pay the price within the country - those who supported Donald Trump yesterday are forced to pay the price for this step today, - Seyed Ali Mojani, the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Georgia, writes on social media.
“There is one fact about Donald Trump and American policy that no one can ignore: when some countries, either unwillingly or hastily, cede their space and territory to outside provocateurs, they sooner or later pay the price at home.
The signs are clear today: the decision-makers of smaller countries face disruptions to export routes, capital flight, and growing public anxiety over the consequences of a draining war, as well as the risks of escalation, including the threat of the use of nuclear weapons by the United States.
Now, on the thirty-second day of the war, the White House is even considering imposing the costs of this conflict on the countries south of Iran.
This is where short-term decisions and miscalculations become long-term challenges.
Those who supported Donald Trump yesterday are now forced to pay the price for this move.
This approach is the continuation of the policy that Joe Biden also periodically pursued when opening new fronts. Today, some NATO allies themselves are choosing a “policy of maintaining distance from Washington.”
Let us pay attention to this phrase: no country is immune from the consequences of a regional crisis.
The crisis is much closer than it seems at first glance, - writes Seyed Ali Mojani.
