The Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, Zanny Minton Beddoes, said that the Iran war is a “strategic disaster” for US President Donald Trump and the US. She said, “I think this is along the line of Suez for the Brits. A very big geo-strategic misstep where the US has, I think, unambiguously lost from this. And it’s in a weaker position in the Gulf and it’s in a weaker position internationally.”

Beddoes said Trump should be thought of not as a conventional American President – with a cabinet and advisors who speak their mind, debate and then come to agreed conclusions – but as a king surrounded by courtiers who vie to tell him what he wants to hear.
