Amos Hochstein, a senior energy adviser in the Biden administration, expressed support for Trump's military actions against Iran. He indicated that the Biden administration had conducted war games simulating similar scenarios, suggesting that such strikes might have been necessary if Biden had been re-elected. Hochstein noted that the administration anticipated potential military involvement in Iran by 2025. He criticized the Trump administration's negotiations with Iran as too lenient but did not take a clear stance on the ongoing conflict that has resulted in significant casualties.
