“Trump’s instincts on the need to seriously address the ISIS threat are correct. Indeed, the UN Security Council has also referred to ISIS as a leading global threat. However, Trump will face five major challenges in any attempt to destroy ISIS, which his own contradictory aims and positions only serve to exacerbate.”
“Trump’s ISIS challenge: Given the President’s many impulses, some contradictory, it’s far, far easier said than done,” Seyed Hossein Mousavian, NY Daily News, March 16, 2017.
“A hope had emerged for U.S.-Iran peace in recent years that Trump’s actions are set to destroy. The United States and Iran and both regional heavyweights, and a confrontation between them would be severely destabilizing for the entire region. The extent to which Trump’s executive order runs counter to international values and laws, the fight against terrorism and the cause of international peace and stability, can be encapsulated in eight points.”
“Las medidas aterradoras de Trump,” Seyed Hossein Mousavian, El Pais, February 9, 2017.
