Maginnis expects Trump will leave Iran to ‘limp along’ for now

Unfortunately for those who want to see a regime change in Iran, a national defense analyst says it’s probably going to be the status quo for the foreseeable future.

After what he described as a “very good” two-hour meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said no final decisions about Iran’s nuclear program were made. In a post on social media, he emphasized that negotiations would continue “to see whether or not a deal can be consummated.”

Many observers say Iran cannot be trusted and argue that the United States should unleash its sizable military force against the rogue regime. However, Bob Maginnis, president of Maginnis Strategies, LLC, notes that Trump approaches such situations as a businessman who prefers to negotiate and “doesn’t listen to certain people.”
