First, Fareed gives his take on the central flaw in President Trump’s Iran strategy: a failure to know one’s enemy, contradicting the advice famously offered by Chinese strategist Sun Tzu.
“In The Art of War, he goes on to say, ‘the flawed general is incapable of fathoming the enemy … easily angered, hasty to act, and arrogant.’ In one line, that perfectly describes the Trump strategy,” Fareed says, now that Trump’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, and his application of “maximum pressure” through sanctions, has provoked Iran to retaliate.
