Trump’s Iran Policy Evolves Amid Ceasefire and Regional Mediation Efforts
Over six months, U.S. President Donald Trump’s approach to Iran fluctuated between threats, military actions, and support for protests, culminating in a memorandum of understanding with Tehran. While some Americans, including Trump voters, criticized the deal as insufficient and doubted Iran’s commitment, others expressed relief at the ceasefire. The Gulf region faces economic and security challenges post-conflict, and countries like Pakistan, Turkey, and Qatar have played notable roles as mediators in the peace process, reflecting a shift in global peacemaking dynamics.
