[Expert: Trump's Hostility Toward Iran Has Long-Standing Roots; U.S. and Israeli Leadership Lack Historical Foundation and Competence] Reported by Golden Finance, April 22—According to Al Jazeera, Brian Clark, Director of Defense Concepts at the Hudson Institute in Washington, stated: 'Trump has expressed his disdain for Iran's leadership for many years, and he seems to have been seeking a legacy initiative that could permanently transform Iran, making it at least a "neutral or even more friendly nation" toward the U.S. Therefore, from this perspective, this is not a new goal he has suddenly started pursuing. The U.S. and Israeli leadership believe that now might be an opportune moment to finally and completely subdue the Iranian regime, as it is currently in a passive position. However, this may reflect the lack of historical foundation and competence in the U.S. and Israeli leadership, as Iran is not a country whose existing leadership structure can be easily overthrown.'
