Delano D'Souza is pleased to welcome Dr. William Lawrence, Senior Academic and Research Fellow-in-Residence and the Director of the North African Area Studies Program at the National Council on US-Arab Relations.
As a former US diplomat in the Muslim world, he views what we are witnessing as a deliberate embrace of chaos and unpredictability as a coercive tool.
Yet such theatrical instability carries diminishing returns when used as a modus operandi, explains Dr. Lawrence. "Trump thinks he can force Iran to the table by being hyperbolic, apocalyptic and chaotic.
Iranians, in turn, respond with so much mockery and bravado."Ā
