మన మీద మనకు కాన్ఫిడెన్స్ ఉండటంలో తప్పు లేదు. కానీ ఓవర్ కాన్ఫిడెన్స్ ఉండకూడదు. అలాగే ప్రత్యర్థిని తక్కువ అంచనా వెయ్యడమూ తప్పే. అమెరికా అధ్యక్షుడు ట్రంప్ ఇదే తప్పుచేశారు. ఇరాన్ సుప్రీం లీడర్ అయతొల్లా ఖమేనీని చంపేస్తే యుద్ధంలో గెలిచినట్లే అనుకున్నారు. అది సక్సెస్ అవ్వలేదు. ఇరాన్‌పై దాడులు చేసేస్తే.. ఇరాన్ పని అయిపోతుంది అనుకున్నారు. కానీ ఇరాన్ మరింత బలంగా షాకులిచ్చింది. ఆ తర్వాత ఇరాన్ చమురు క్షేత్రమైన ఖర్గ్‌ దీవిపై దాడి చేస్తే సరిపోతుంది అనుకున్నారు. అదీ సక్సెస్ అవ్వలేదు. అక్కడ ఎప్పట్లాగే చమురు ఎగుమతి కొనసాగుతోంది. తాజాగా ప్రపంచ దేశాలు తమ యుద్ధ నౌకల్ని పంపాలని కోరారు. అదీ కుదరలేదు. దేశాలేవీ ముందుకు రావట్లేదు. ఇలా ట్రంప్, ఇరాన్ విషయంలో అట్టర్ ఫ్లాప్ అవుతున్నారు.
