Threatening to blow up Oman and saying Saudi Arabia and Qatar owe it to the U.S. to join Abraham Accords—for ending a war that he started and failed to defend them against, and may not sign an agreement with Iran unless they join—indicate he feels he is for losing control with Iran.

First he declared he wanted to eradicate Iran’s civilization now he is declaring that he wants to turn Iran into an American property. It is this kind of grotesque behavior that undermines diplomacy and unites Iranians in defense of their country. He casts doubts on America’s true intentions.

I enjoyed reading Lyse Doucet’s new book. It is engaging and thoughtful and tells Afghanistan’s harrowing recent history with empathy and through the eyes of its people. Highly recommend it.

I told CNN nuclear talks lack a framework, and one cannot be formed without agreement on Iran's right to enrichment

I am excited that my new book, Iran’s Grand Strategy: A Political History will be out in late spring. It is comprehensive examination of how Iran sees its national security and interests and why it adopts particular strategies to achieve them. press.princeton.edu/books/hardcove…

Double crossing Iran/Russia Assad lost those who saved his regime in 2014 but didn’t find in a new friend to protect him.
