Three different paths in the White House.
Disagreement in Trump's team or division of labor against Iran?
The defeat of the Republicans in the US midterm elections made Donald Trump's decisions regarding Iran more complex and created three different approaches in the White House:
A group pursues military, economic or diplomatic options despite differences of opinion.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Pete Heggest (Secretary of War) and Brad Cooper (CENTCOM Commander) support a return to extensive military operations, while JD Vance and Steve Witkoff call for diplomacy and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and Marco Rubio and Scott Bessant emphasize the tightening of sanctions and the economic embargo.
On the other hand, America's regional allies do not have the same attitude; Netanyahu wants to continue the attacks, but Arab countries like Qatar are looking for mediation to lift the blockade and reduce tensions.
CBS also reported speculation about the possibility of changes to Trump's war team following the election defeat.
However, experts believe that these differences are more about means (military, economic or negotiation) and all these options are ultimately pursued within the framework of a common goal of confronting Iran.
