> Charles Kupchan, a former Obama administration National Security Council member, told FRANCE 24 that the Iran war “in many respects jeopardises the Trump presidency.” He called it “yet another failed war of choice,” saying it has raised fuel and living costs ahead of the midterms, while accusing Trump’s advisers of putting loyalty before facts.
