Trump's Nuclear Iran Gambit Revealed The concept of a "gambit" in chess refers to a strategic move that sacrifices material to achieve a long term goal.
This concept has been applied to international politics, where leaders must weigh the risks and benefits of bold action.
In the case of President Trump's handling of Iran, this analogy is particularly apt – he has taken a high stakes gamble that has drawn parallels with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the subsequent breakdown in US Iran relations.
