The Trump administration’s Iran peace plan has sold out democracy

The Trump administration's pivot on Iran, which appears to cozy up to the Revolutionary Guard Corps, has sparked outrage among critics who see it as a betrayal of democratic values and a dangerous shift in foreign policy. This move, coupled with frequent public criticisms of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has raised alarms about the administration's priorities and its impact on US alliances in the Middle East. The decision underscores a concerning trend where geopolitical pragmatism seems to overshadow democratic commitments, potentially destabilizing regional dynamics and undermining long-standing alliances.
