In a dramatic turn of events, President Trump’s arrival in the Netherlands for NATO talks coincided with a leaked U.S. intelligence report that undercuts his celebration of recent military strikes on Iran. Trump's narrative painted the strikes as a decisive blow that "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities, yet the Pentagon’s findings suggest the program was merely delayed by a few months.
Desperate to secure a fragile cease-fire between Israel and Iran, Trump had hoped to pair military action with a peace deal, seeking historical recognition for both. His attempts were supported by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who praised the strikes in a private note to Trump, later shared on social media.
Yet, as the true impact of U.S. military actions unfurled, concerns grew about the broader implications, raising doubts that Trump’s strategy could yield the long-term stability he envisioned. With each day that passes, the question remains: can diplomatic efforts withstand the turbulence ignited by military strikes?
