  • Iran – convenient distraction from woes at home

    Deflecting from domestic unrest and failures into foreign forays is standard for unpopular political leaders but having been voted in on an avoiding-military entanglements-abroad platform, Trump’s latest broadside against Iran is unlikely to appeal to his MAGA voters. A build-up of US military forces in the Gulf with a naval fleet headed by the Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln could be the forerunner to new US airstrikes on Iran within a few days.

He was given one of India’s highest civilian honours and on his death, the nationalist PM Narendra Modi led the tributes to him.
