巴基斯坦邊疆軍團前指揮官、退役中將Tariq Khan表示，特朗普已將美國及其中東地區盟友推入對伊政策的“死衚衕”。近期暴力升級與特朗普無力“將自己的意志強加於談判結果”密切相關。美國與伊朗簽署的備忘錄，是美國重大失敗的鮮明證詞。這也是特朗普行爲反覆無常、情緒化且古怪的原因之一，因爲這場戰爭尚未找到政治解決方案。在談及美伊再次爆發衝突時，khan稱特朗普已無牌可打。美國嘗試了空襲行動，但失敗了；特朗普還曾暗示要發動地面攻擊，但若要實施地面行動，至少需要集結約30萬兵力。特朗普或許想抽身離開這場衝突，這或許是實現即時和平的唯一途徑，但他做不到。Khan補充道：“特朗普是否被以色列利用了？他是否受到了威脅、勒索或脅迫，被迫去做他現在明知無法取勝的事情？我們不得而知。”
