Jason Greenblatt on Trump's fresh threat to Iran, West Asia war and more

In an exclusive interview, Jason Greenblatt, the former White House Middle East Special Envoy, discusses the escalating tensions between the United States and Iran as a critical deadline approaches. Greenblatt expresses scepticism regarding a negotiated settlement, stating that the Iranian regime is unlikely to offer a proposal that meets President Donald Trump's expectations. He defends the potential for strikes on Iranian infrastructure, dismissing allegations that such actions constitute war crimes, arguing that the United States remains a nation of laws. Greenblatt emphasises that Trump’s primary objectives include neutralising Iran's nuclear and missile threats and ensuring the Strait of Hormuz remains open to global trade.
