      Good thread trying to figure out Trump's Iran policy.https://twitter.com/brett_mcgurk/status/1139621984264839168 …

      On the current situation with Iran, absent a critical review of assumptions in DC and adjustment of current policy the risks of military confrontation — intended or unintended — will continue to rise. I wrote in @ForeignAffairs last week 👉 pic.twitter.com/Dvp2SliJHc

      There's every reason to think Trump was using Japanese PM Abe as a back-channel to Iran. But then something went wrong. Was it on American end (Bolton/Pompeo trying to halt backchannel) or Iranian end? Or both?

          What we're seeing over & over again is Trump's faith in personal diplomacy ("deal-making") clashing with hawkish bluster of his foreign policy team, creating mixed messages. This is, needless to say, very dangerous.

          what’s this based on? not disagreeing necessarily, just trying to understand if you’re drawing an inference or reacting to a specific report.

          Basing this on Iranian media now claiming that Abe was carrying message which Supreme Leader rejected.

          trump lost his train of thought and told abe to tell the iranians about the time kristy swanson came on to him at the mtv movie awards

          Or maybe they were just not impressed when Abe showed them trump's electoral college map.

          or Mohammad Bin (either S or Z) ? Motive and opportunity. There is evidence that it was done by Iranians, but I can't see how an Iranian warmonger gains by humiliating Khameini. On the other hand there are at least two who are royally pleased.

          Never underestimate Saudia Aeabia and Israel in this scenario. They are players pushing hard for the US to take on Iran.
