英シンクタンクのイランウォッチャー、バトマンゲリジ氏「まともなイラン研究者にイランの石油産業が崩壊寸前だと考えている者はいません。トランプの封鎖継続とイランが崩壊寸前だとの主張は、政府外の誰かが外交努力を蔑ろにする為に政治的な目的で非現実的な話を吹き込んでいるように感じます」 記事の趣旨としては、米は粘ればイランは泣きついてくるだろうと考えており、イランもどんなに経済が苦しくても粘り続ければ世界経済が保たなくなって優位な局面が開けるだろうと、双方が根拠なく過信して膠着した危うい現状だという話。 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...
@nickkristof.bsky.social observes that "in 2018, President Trump pulled out of the Iranian nuclear accord, promising that he would then negotiate a better deal. He couldn’t and didn’t. Instead, Iran built up its nuclear program." Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...
Once again, Trump has embraced what looks like a failed (and dangerous) strategy toward Iran, which like Trump has its own record of over-confidence and overreach. My take: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...
NYTニコラス・クリストフ記者によるイランに対する戦争への疑義と批判。 太平洋戦争で天皇が「サラトガ(だったと思う。米空母)は一体何回沈没したのか?」と海軍の戦果報告の出鱈目さに苦言を呈したけどそれに似ている。 Opinion | Two Cocky Authoritarians Blocking Hormuz: What Could Go Wrong? - The New York Times www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o... #url_linked

“Trump’s commitment to the blockade and his repeated statements that Iran is on the verge of collapse suggest that someone outside of government is feeding him unrealistic and politically motivated assessments of the situation in an attempt to undermine diplomacy.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...
🐓 Trump's Chicken Game He pulled out of the Iranian nuclear accord in 2018. Then, Iran restarted its nuclear program. He started a war with Iran this year. “We’ve won,” he said in March. Then, Iran seized the Strait of Hormuz. #Trump miscalculated again. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...
“The Americans clearly have no strategy,” Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany said Monday. Speaking of the United States, he added, “An entire nation is being humiliated.” Of course this is true, but Trump and his supporters prefer to live in a fantasy world. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...

Repost by @NickKristof An excellent column by @NickKristof on the Trump administration’s stumbling diplomacy with Iran. “Faced with the prospect of making concessions to the other side, each may prefer to delay or escalate, with the world economy held hostage.” Click to see original repost
«Iran and the United States each seems to feel it is in the stronger position. Faced with the prospect of making concessions to the other side, each may prefer to delay or escalate, with the world economy held hostage. What could possibly go wrong?» www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...

""Danny Citrinowicz ... told me: “Contrary to the administration’s belief, especially the president’s, that a naval blockade would bring Iran to its knees, Tehran is unlikely to yield on its core strategic demands.”" Nicholas Kristof" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...
