Expert flags one detail in Trump's Iran deal that makes her 'very afraid'
Narrative Analysis: Appeal to Fear

A former State Department official said on Tuesday that one detail of the deal President Donald Trump struck with the Iranian regime over the weekend makes her very afraid. Former Biden deputy secretary of state Wendy Sherman said during an appearance on CNN that she's worried that Trump is so focused on getting oil flowing into the market again that he'll move on from the Iran War without striking a nuclear deal.I'm very afraid that that's what will happen, Sherman said. It won't surprise me at all if the president truly lets this go and moves on to his next shiny object.She pointed to Trump's history of moving on from conflicts or projects abroad before reaching a favorable conclusion for everyone.The president has not really been interested in taking the next step on anything, Sherman said. If he can't go to get a quick victory in Ukraine, he moves away. If he can't really take Venezuela to the next step, he moves on to the next shiny object. If he can't really help Gaza reconstruct and Palestinians to have a future, he moves on.With Iran, the Trump administration has never understood the culture or the history and the approach of the Iranians throughout this whole process. I think they indeed just wanted to get the war over.
