The Bazaar Is Closed: Trump's Message to Iran

A few weeks ago, I introduced what I called "The Bazaar Strategy" - the idea that President Donald Trump's negotiating style mirrors the bargaining culture of a Middle Eastern marketplace: maximum pressure, strategic unpredictability, and always leaving room for a deal.
Has that strategy now reached its limit?
In this episode of Middle East Brief with Avi Kaner, I examine President Trump's latest remarks from Türkiye, where he declared, "I think it's over," describing the Iranian regime as "liars," "cheats," and "sick people," while questioning whether any future agreement is possible.
Has the negotiation truly ended, or is this simply another chapter in a high-stakes strategy?
Join me as we examine one of the most consequential shifts in U.S.-Iran relations - and what it could mean for Israel, the Middle East, and the wider world.
Middle East Brief with Avi Kaner delivers concise historical context and geopolitical analysis on the events shaping Israel, the Middle East, and global affairs.
