The American news agency described the recent campaign as a strategic setback, with consequences extending beyond the bilateral relations between Tehran and Washington.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bloomberg, the ceasefire established following tensions with Iran has reinforced the perception among some rivals and NATO members that Trump&#8217;s policies have failed to achieve their desired outcomes. The report stated that this situation has raised questions about the effectiveness of the pressures exerted by the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg also emphasized that the United States&#8217; military and intelligence superiority did not compel Iran to fully withdraw. The report&#8217;s author believes this has influenced the assessment of Washington&#8217;s power and influence by international actors.<\/p>\n<p>In another part of the analysis, it is noted that Trump&#8217;s previous threats to withdraw from NATO have continued to cast doubt on the level of America&#8217;s commitment to the military alliance. The report was published as the US president recently criticized NATO&#8217;s performance, stating that the alliance has not played an effective role when needed.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, NATO&#8217;s Secretary-General told CNN that Trump feels disappointed with some allies due to what he described as insufficient support during the tensions with Iran. These remarks indicate ongoing debates about the future of security cooperation within the NATO framework.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bloomberg analysis says Trump&#8217;s confrontational Iran policy weakened US position with allies and rivals, raising doubts on effectiveness and NATO commitment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10369,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-important-news","category-international"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10370"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10370\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
