President Donald Trump’s growing list of failed Middle East deals demonstrates that his attempts to push critical issues into the future have met with limited success.

Whether it’s Netanyahu or someone else running the show after Israel’s October elections, the country will continue to face attacks from multiple directions. It will continue to respond forcefully, as any nation would.

Even while negotiating an agreement with Iran, President Trump, too, can reverse course, shine a consistent light on Tehran’s abuses, and give human rights promotion a global boost.

Though battered by the United States and Israel, Iran is putting renewed emphasis on its network of regional proxies.

The lesson is clear: both Trump and his successors would be wise to factor in the home front more strategically before the next U.S. military action abroad.
