The president has wooed Saudi Arabia and Israel with promises to roll back Iranian influence—but he has so far failed to match those words with action.

If Washington wants to counter destabilizing Iranian activities and guard against a radical Islamic State successor, it must work with European and Arab partners.

History shows that the president can sanction Iranian leaders for human-rights abuses, missile proliferation, and other violations while still strengthening the nuclear deal.

The more the regime believes that its foreign adventures threaten its internal foundations, the more likely it will be to temper its behavior.

The president's statement does not, in fact, concede Palestinian rights and claims, but he must now make this clear to avoid empowering rejectionists.

The challenge for the president is clear: acknowledge the de facto reality, but don't take a position on the city's final status.

John Kerry trusted Russia; President Trump should ask him how that worked out.

For many of those watching in the Middle East, the administration's decision to stand by as the Kurds were forced to retreat has sent a message far more powerful than its tough words on Iran.
