This op-ed offers ways the US might improve its credibility in the Middle East. Many Arab nations believed that the US was/is “secretly allied” with Iran based on its tolerance of the nation and supporting Iran’s desire to have nuclear materials–even if only authorized for power and research purposes– and its failure to offer support the 2009 Green Revolution and to punish ayatollahs who support terror (outside of sanctions). If the US takes a stronger stance against these issues and continues to stay out of the Iran nuclear deal, it may restore some of this lost credibility. *These opinions are those of the author, I am merely sharing the article.
