Donald Trump, who has demonstrated great intuitive, but not scholarly talents as a geopolitician, recognized that this permanently uneasy and violent condition possessed no potential for evolving positively, and that Iran and its proxies had to be neutralized He withdrew from Obama’s catastrophic nuclear deal with Iran which authorized Iran to become a nuclear power in ten years, and imposed heavy sanctions on that country. By the last year of Trump‘s first term, Iran could not afford to finance the terrorist activities of its vassals. Trump designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, and then killed its commander Quassem Soleimani. The Abraham accords in 2020 moved the Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan away from the previous Arab position that normalized relations with Israel would depend on a resolution of Palestinian problem. It was an important step in integrating Israel into its region rather than it being quarantined as a leper state by most of its neighbours.
