Trump’s Iran deal: Realpolitik triumphs — for now

The Trump administration has struck a pragmatic deal with Iran, sidestepping traditional moral rhetoric in favor of realpolitik. This move highlights the administration's willingness to prioritize strategic interests over ideological stances, reflecting a shift in U.S. foreign policy priorities. While this pragmatic approach may yield immediate benefits, it raises questions about the long-term implications for U.S. global standing and the balance of power in the Middle East. This deal underscores the complexities and often messy nature of international diplomacy.
