Financial Times: Iran–U.S. Agreement Not a clear victory for Americans
-
US President Donald Trump
Pars Today – The Financial Times wrote that the Iran–U.S. agreement has increased divisions and tensions inside the United States for Donald Trump, leaving Americans facing higher prices without any clear sense of victory in the war.
According to Pars Today, citing IRNA, the Financial Times emphasized that the U.S. agreement with Iran was, at least for now, designed to cover up the conflict in West Asia and has — if not completely derailed — at least overturned the course of Trump’s second presidential term.
The report stated that even if the agreement is upheld, it may be too late to reverse the political damage to Trump and the Republican Party, as Americans have been left facing high levels of inflation resulting from the war.
The Financial Times wrote: Until just last week, Trump had been shifting between moving toward the final stages of negotiations with Iran and escalating military tensions, including claims about the possible occupation of Khark Island. However, in the end, the only option available to the U.S. president was to resolve the dispute with the Iranian government — a course of action that was far removed from his claim at the start of the military attack against Iran on February 28 about Tehran’s unconditional surrender.
The Financial Times, referring to growing public dissatisfaction in the United States over the war with Iran due to rising inflation and gasoline prices, wrote that the conflict had also deepened divisions within the Republican Party between opponents of military intervention and hawks who had pushed the White House toward military action against Iran.
According to the Financial Times, Trump’s biggest problem with the war was its economic impact, as it increased inflation and pushed the price index from 2.4 percent in February to 4.2 percent in May.
