Jordan's former foreign minister: Except for Israel, no one is interested in the continuation of the war "Other than Israel, nobody is really interested in a serious continuation of the war," Marwan Al-Masher, former Jordanian foreign minister and deputy director of studies at the Carnegie Endowment for Peace, told Middle East Eye. Marwan al-Masher said: "Continuing the war will only bring more problems to the countries of the Persian Gulf, and it is clear that it will not lead to a change of government in Iran." At the same time, Trump is under pressure within the United States due to the increase in fuel and food prices.
