The Nation's Jeet Heer and the Molly Jong-Fast argue that Donald Trump’s signature political pattern is to manufacture crises—then pivot to declaring victory when he partially retreats—before warning that Iran may be the kind of conflict he can’t easily escape, given Tehran’s leverage over the Strait of Hormuz and the wider regional fallout. They discuss how Trump’s renewed push to fold Iran into the “Abraham Accords” functions as political cover for hawks and donors, while criticizing the accords as an elite-driven, arms-sale-friendly framework that sidelines Palestinians and effectively builds an anti-Iran bloc, helping set the stage for today’s instability. The discussion also turns to the growing split in both parties between an entrenched foreign-policy establishment and a war-weary public, and how accusations of antisemitism are being deployed inconsistently—raising concerns that failures to confront the real drivers of antisemitism and unpopular Middle East wars could empower genuinely extremist figures in the years ahead.
