American economist Jeffrey Sachs delivered a blistering critique of U.S. foreign policy, arguing that Iran's ability to withstand military and economic pressure has exposed the limits of American power in the Middle East.
Iran's Resilience Exposes US Weakness
Sachs claimed that Washington's decades-long pursuit of regional dominance has failed, while Iran's resilience has shattered what he described as President Donald Trump's "imperial delusion."
Warning to Gulf Allies
In a message directed at Gulf allies, particularly the UAE, Sachs warned that relying on American security guarantees is a risky bet. "America will not protect you," he argued, adding that countries closely aligned with Washington often end up paying a heavy price for that partnership.
