#donaldtrump #israel #iran - Trump backed into a corner on Iran: former defense advisor: CNBC International Live

9 March 2026

Jasmine El-Gamal, former Middle East Advisor at the U.S. Department of Defense and Founder & CEO of Averos Strategies, tells CNBC that President Donald Trump has boxed himself in with his increasingly escalatory rhetoric on Iran - leaving few off-ramps to de‑escalate the conflict, short of demanding unconditional surrender.

She warns that even if a deal is reached, underlying tensions could easily resurface in the years ahead, raising fresh questions about long‑term security in the Gulf.
