Bangkok: Trump halts attacks on Iran for two weeks, easing tensions but the world remains at risk of a volatile leader. Associate Professor Dr. Piti Srisangnam, a lecturer at the Faculty of Economics, Chulalongkorn University, revealed on the Good Morning ASEAN program on MCOT News FM 100.5 that the conflict between the United States and Iran, which previously risked escalating to destruction, has been delayed for another two weeks. This follows US President Donald Trump's decision to postpone the planned attack at the request of Pakistan, which offered Iran the opening of the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a temporary ceasefire and open negotiations. This reflects a positive sign that helps ease global tensions in the short term.

According to Thai News Agency, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Piti pointed out that the worrying issue lies in Trump's behavior, which previously used harsh language, even threatening the collapse of world civilization. This has led to speculation that it may be related to "amygdala hijack," a condition where the emotional part of the brain overrides rational thought, resulting in an inability to control one's actions. Furthermore, AI analysis reflects various aspects, including heightened emotional arousal, narcissistic personality traits, or even a deliberate use of a "shock and awe" communication strategy to portray a strong leader.

Furthermore, observations highlight the aging process and the pressure from the US's inability to defeat Iran, even after several weeks, leading to accumulated stress and volatile behavior. Meanwhile, politically, attempts to invoke the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution to consider the suitability of a leader further underscore the uncertainty of the global situation at this critical juncture.

While delaying the attack plan may reduce the impact in the short term, uncertainty surrounding the leadership of major powers remains a significant risk factor that the world must closely monitor, especially in the run-up to the US midterm elections.
