Part 10/11:
As tensions escalate in the Middle East, with the U.S. seemingly at a crossroads over Iran policy, a parallel internal battle over intelligence and political transparency unfolds in Washington. President Trump’s mixed signals—threatening escalation yet speaking of peace—highlight the volatility of U.S. foreign policy right now.
Simultaneously, the declassification of a buried intelligence report about Chinese efforts to influence the 2020 election underscores pre-existing concerns about foreign meddling and the suppression of critical information. The coming weeks are likely to see renewed partisan clashes, investigations, and possibly more disclosures that could reshape public understanding of both foreign interference and the decision-making processes at the highest levels of government.
