[Six Key Takeaways from Trump's Important Speech on Iran at 9:00 AM Beijing Time] (1) End of the War: He may announce a victory and withdraw troops, or hint at a ground invasion—the former signifies withdrawal, while the latter implies a protracted war. (2) NATO's Fate: He may threaten to withdraw to pressure allies, but legally, the president has no right to withdraw unilaterally. (3) Diplomatic Signals: There are no substantive negotiation arrangements yet; communication is only through intermediaries, and the speech is not expected to announce a peace process. (4) Domestic Politics: He needs to address anti-war sentiment and inflationary pressures, appease voters, and maintain the "America First" narrative. (5) Allies' Attitudes: He continues to criticize insufficient European support while facing pressure from Gulf allies to "fight and leave." (6) Executive Power: By bypassing Congress to launch the war, he once again demonstrates the president's authority to unilaterally advance major military operations. Trump becomes the first sitting president to attend a Supreme Court hearing, highlighting the executive branch's strong intervention in the judicial field.
