Former Middle East negotiator Aaron David Miller says the United States underestimated Iran. “Great powers have a hard time imposing their ambitions, their dreams, their schemes on smaller ones,” Mr Miller told Sky News Australia. “Largely because for the smaller power, the stakes are existential. “For the Iranians, this brutal, repressive authoritarian regime, they’re in this for keeps. “That basically gives them a greater risk tolerance than a great power.”
