Trump Does Not Understand What He’s Saying About the Middle East
Donald Trump made contradictory statements about Iran at the G7 summit, denying past support for regime change and describing Iranian leaders as rational despite their hostile actions. He referenced Mojtaba Khamenei and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which have opposed U.S. interests, and acknowledged Iran's uranium stockpile resulting from his withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.
