On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced via social media that a negotiated settlement with Iran had 'been largely negotiated.' However, Trita Parsi, a foreign policy expert and co-founder of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, raised doubts about whether Trump authored the post himself. Parsi pointed out that the post was free of the usual misspellings and grammatical errors typical of Trump's previous communications, suggesting it was likely crafted by someone else. He speculated that this could be a strategic move to protect Trump from right-wing critics who advocate for a more aggressive approach towards Iran. The post included the names of nearly a dozen world leaders involved in the negotiations, which Parsi interpreted as an attempt to deflect criticism regarding potential abandonment of Israel. He emphasized that presenting the negotiations as a collaborative effort with regional leaders serves to bolster Trump's position amid domestic pressures. The reaction from right-wing commentators to the announcement was described as a 'public panic,' indicating significant backlash against the prospect of a diplomatic resolution with Iran.
