The Price of American Weakness
(Israel Hayom) Prof. Eyal Zisser - The photo of 10 American sailors on their knees with their hands over their heads after being captured by the Revolutionary Guards illustrates the prevailing trend of U.S. capitulation to Iran. Many in the Middle East believe the current U.S. administration is willing to hand the "keys" to the region over to Iran. Tehran publicized the humiliating photo in an effort to send a clear message to the Americans, and essentially to the entire world, that Iran is the "boss" in the region. The writer is former director of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University.
