'Idea that Trump can be led around by Israel is foolishness,' ex-envoy to Iran says

In an interview with FRANCE 24, Elliott Abrams, a former special envoy of US President Donald Trump to Iran, dismissed as "foolishness" the idea that Israel led Trump into war with Tehran. Abrams, who served during Trump's first term in office, said he backed the ongoing war, saying that "five presidents in a row" had vowed to prevent a nuclear Iran but Trump "is the first person who's really acting on that".
