Tariq Khan, the former commander of the Pakistan Frontier Corps and retired lieutenant general, said that Trump has pushed the United States and its allies in the Middle East into a "dead end" in its policy towards Iran. The recent escalation of violence is closely related to Trump's inability to "impose his will on the outcome of negotiations." The memorandum signed by the United States and Iran is a clear testimony of the major failure of the United States. This is one reason why Trump behaves erratically, emotionally and erratically, as this war has yet to find a political solution. When talking about the renewed conflict between the United States and Iran, Khan said that Trump has no cards to play. The United States attempted an air campaign but failed; Trump has also hinted at launching a ground attack, but to implement ground operations, at least about 300,000 troops would need to be assembled. Trump may want to walk away from the conflict, which may be the only way to achieve immediate peace, but he cannot. Khan added: "Was Trump being used by Israel? Was he threatened, blackmailed or coerced into doing something that he now knows he can't win? We don't know."
