Iran-style treatment of Trump!

Trump, who is facing a kind of extreme narcissism, has suffered many blows during the defeat in the war with Iran.

Ambassador Arjan: Trump, who is facing extreme narcissism, has suffered many blows during the defeat in the war with Iran.

1- Psychologists warn about Trump's narcissism: Years before Donald Trump came to power in the White House, a number of psychologists and mental health experts warned about his personality and behavioral characteristics; Warnings focused on self-conceit, excessive need for admiration, aggressiveness, and difficulty accepting criticism. John Gartner, an American psychologist, described Trump in harsh terms and spoke of symptoms that he believed were consistent with the concept of malignant narcissism. Julie Futterell also warned about the consequences of narcissism on Trump's behavior in a statement in the New York Daily News.

2- University professors' letter to Obama about Trump's mental state: Concerns about Trump's behavioral characteristics were not limited to the comments of psychologists. In November 2016, three professors and specialists in psychiatry and mental health, in a letter to Barack Obama, the President of the United States at the time, demanded a medical and neuropsychiatric evaluation of Donald Trump; A letter that was reflected in the American media in December of the same year. Pointing to characteristics such as self-arrogance, impulsiveness, extreme sensitivity to criticism and what they described as an apparent inability to separate fantasy from reality, the authors of the letter expressed concern about Trump's behavioral competence to accept the heavy responsibilities of the presidency. They suggested that before the start of the presidency, his medical and neuropsychiatric evaluation should be done by an impartial group.

3- Iran war, a mirror of Trump's will limitation: Trump has repeatedly talked about the military power of the United States and at different stages of the war, he has also talked about the victory and the closeness of the end of the operation. However, an analysis published in the American Journal of Foreign Policy on September 17, 2026 presented a different picture of the strategic outcome of the war. This publication wrote that the United States has failed to achieve many of its main goals, and the outcome of the war has been far from Washington's initial expectations in indicators such as Iran's ability to exert regional power, the state of Iran's government, and the fate of its nuclear program. In an interview with this publication, Gregory Burrow, senior analyst of the Eurasia Group, said: "It is undeniable that the United States has failed in its main strategic goals." Now some have said that maybe the defeat in the Iran war can convince Trump to abandon his extreme narcissism.

4- Helplessness in the stalemate of war: One of the signs of Washington's difficulty in ending the war is the gap between Trump's literature and the realities of the battlefield. Lara Rosen, the US foreign policy reporter, has pointed out the difficulties of the Trump administration in finding a way out of the deadlock. Rosen wrote in a report: Trump seems to be caught.

5- Trump is helpless against Iran: one of Trump's advisers said that he used to snap his fingers and have others, from Republicans to world leaders, follow his wishes; But now he is facing Iran, which is not willing to retreat from its positions just by his gesture. In fact, in the domestic arena, relying on party influence and the position of the presidency, Trump has tried many times to force the opposition to come along, but in the international arena, Trump is facing Iran, which is not willing to surrender, and according to some experts, Iran is a symbol of strategic disobedience against Trump.

6- Iran and breaking the image of Trump's invincibility: Iran has been able to challenge the image of Trump's invincibility and show that America's military and economic superiority does not necessarily lead to immediate political victory. Iran's ability against America should be found in the difference between military superiority and strategic victory. Although Washington has the upper hand in terms of air power, military technology and financial resources; But this superiority could not make Iran surrender. A Carnegie think tank analysis in April 2026 pointed out that the US and Tel Aviv were able to strike Iran, but could not force Tehran to surrender or destroy all of its missile and drone capabilities.

7- Examples of America's failure in the war with Iran: The failure of a country in war cannot be measured only by the number of attacks or damages inflicted on the other side. The more important criterion is to compare the initial goals with the final result. Regarding the American war with Iran, several axes have been highlighted in the published reports and analyses. In an analysis on June 24, 2026, the Stimson Center dismissed the assumption that an air campaign alone could force Iran to surrender unconditionally. Relying solely on air power to achieve such an outcome, the authors argued, faced serious limitations from the outset. The Center for Strategic and International Studies of the United States also wrote in its July 27, 2026 analysis that military operations have reduced the reserves of American defense ammunition. In its estimate, this center stated that the stock of Patriot interceptor missiles is less than 1,000 and the stock of THAAD is about 250 and warned that the reduction of stocks can put pressure on the ability to prepare for future conflicts.

8- What do experts say about America's strategic failure? In the field of military preparedness, the Center for Strategic and International Studies of the United States has warned that the widespread use of defensive ammunition in war has reduced the reserves of interceptors and can be costly for the future military preparedness of the United States. This center also emphasized that the alternative options to deal with some ballistic missile threats are limited and in this situation, the US does not have much choice against Iran's military and missile power.
