Retired Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Brigadier General Amir Avivi has expressed concerns about the long-term consequences of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s approach to Iran’s nuclear program. In an interview with ‘The Story,’ Avivi warned that Trump’s assertive diplomatic strategy risked disrupting the delicate balance of global nuclear deterrence. The general also addressed the recent collapse of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, suggesting that Trump’s policies may have inadvertently contributed to the current conflict.
Avivi’s remarks come amid heightened tensions in the region, where Israel and Iran have been engaged in a cycle of escalating attacks and retaliation. The general emphasized the importance of maintaining strategic stability, noting that any miscalculation in the nuclear arena could lead to catastrophic consequences. Avivi further criticized the lack of consistent U.S. policy toward Iran, citing Trump’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal as a key factor in the current situation.
The interview has sparked debate among security analysts and policymakers, with some supporting Avivi’s assessment of Trump’s impact on regional dynamics while others argue that the situation is the result of multiple contributing factors. Avivi’s comments highlight the complex interplay between U.S. foreign policy and regional stability, raising questions about the effectiveness of aggressive international strategies.
