The last president Iran could trust wasn’t elected. Trump should take notes

Gerald R. Ford presided over the last period of peaceful U.S. relations with Iran. After Richard Nixon resigned over the Watergate scandal, Ford largely continued Nixon’s policy toward Iran from 1974 to early 1977. Many Iranians reflect fondly on the 1970s and long for a return to their golden years of peace, prosperity, and security. []

Trump's Iran war: A $40 billion catastrophe that hurts Americans most
TEHRAN- When Donald Trump last week declared victory in his war against Iran, he painted a picture of American triumph. OIL IS FLOWING, IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON... PRICES ARE DROPPING, he boasted on social media. But a comprehensive CNN analysis of the 100-day conflict reveals a devastating reality that the President's all-caps pronouncements cannot obscure: this was a war that bankrupted American taxpayers, emptied the nation's strategic reserves, and inflicted economic pain on ordinary families—all while killing more than 7,500 civilians in the region.
