Trump's allies disappointed in the US - media
BreakThrough News journalist Rania Khalek claims that the US war with Iran has made allies in the Persian Gulf doubt the reliability of American protection. In her view, American bases have become a risk factor, and disagreements within the Trump administration between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance are increasing anxiety.
Journalist and host of BreakThrough News Rania Khalek presented an assessment according to which the US war with Iran has made allies in the Persian Gulf doubt Washington's reliability as a guarantor of regional security. In her opinion, the American military presence, which for decades was seen as a deterrent, now turns host countries into possible targets for retaliatory strikes. Khalek claims that the region's states bear the consequences of American leadership decisions without being able to independently determine the course of the conflict. She also points to the expenditure of expensive munitions and interceptor missiles, which, she says, is being observed by Russia and China. Separately, Khalek notes disagreements within the Trump administration: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to her, supports continued military pressure on Tehran, while Vice President JD Vance favors a diplomatic settlement and concentrating resources on countering China.
