President Trump's aggressive and unilateral actions against Iran have made America weaker, according to a growing consensus of foreign policy experts.
His approach has isolated the United States from its traditional allies. These nations now hesitate to support U.S. policy, fearing unpredictable decisions made without consultation.
The strategy has also failed to limit Iran's regional influence. Instead, Iran has accelerated its nuclear program and become more confrontational.
This situation leaves the U.S. with fewer diplomatic options and increased military risk. The president's critics argue that a successful strategy requires working with other nations, not acting alone.
