Trump must read US intelligence report before taking US to Iran war: Marwan Bishara

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara joins live from Paris to offer a critical analysis of the growing US–Iran tensions, the breakdown in diplomacy, and the wider geopolitical implications of Western policy in the Middle East. Bishara highlights the persistent Western double standards surrounding Iran’s nuclear program. He notes the clear contradiction: nuclear weapons are acceptable for US allies like Israel, yet forbidden for adversaries like Iran. While this may seem ethically unjust, Bishara underscores that states act out of strategic self-interest, not moral consistency. He warns that President Trump’s current dilemma—whether to launch a military strike against Iran—reflects a deeper strategic miscalculation. Despite earlier promises to avoid new wars, Trump’s administration may be drifting toward conflict under pressure from hardline allies, particularly Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Such action, Bishara argues, could pull the US into another prolonged and costly regional war, mirroring the failures of Iraq and Afghanistan.
