US President Donald Trump has in the past been openly criticized for Washington’s foreign policy and has promised his country not to drag his country into any “forever war”.
However, Israel’s widespread attacks on Iran will examine the promise as never before, will probably set up a show down with his base because Trump has decided how much support the US offer will be.
Trump did not publicly demand Israel not to strike because he had sought a solution to the negotiations, and his roaming envoy Steve Watkov had a schedule to meet Iranian officials for the sixth time on Sunday.
Trump, who had warned hours ago that the attack would cause a “massive conflict”, followed by the “excellent” of Israeli attacks.
He was proud that Israel has “the best and most deadly military equipment anywhere in the world thanks to the United States – and that Iran was planning more strikes until an agreement was agreed.”
Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio insisted that the United States was not involved in strikes and warned Iran not to retaliate against thousands of US troops stationed in nearby Arab countries.
However, an American official confirmed that the United States was helping Israel shooting Iran’s retaliatory missiles on Friday.
“The United States has calculated that it can help Israel and that the Iranians will be clearly aware of it, but at the end of the day, at least the public, at the end of the day,” said Alex Wattonka, the founder of the Iranian program at the Middle East Institute in Washington.
It is hoped that “the Iranians will analyze the immediate cost/benefit and decide that it is not worth the fight.”
He said Iranian leaders have now focused on surviving, but they can either decide to swallow a tough deal-or decide to make the conflict more international by causing chaos in the oil-rich Gulf, and potentially rising oil prices.
‘America First’
The most important lawmakers of the Republican Party of Trump staged a rally behind Israel, whose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a hero for many people on the right of the United States, and has long been described as Iran as an existent threat.
But Trump’s popular “America First” base has been suspicious.
In the first term, a prominent media observer, who advised Trump against the US strike on Iran, called for concerns about the construction of Tehran’s nuclear bomb, saying neither Iran nor Ukrainian guarantees US military resources.
Carlson writes on X after the Israeli strike that Trump’s orbit is “discriminatory between people who encourage violence, and those who strive to prevent it – between the Warminers and Peacemakers.” “
Trump has brought directly to non -interventionists who speak directly to his administration.
In an extraordinary political video this week, Trump’s National Intelligence Director, Tulsi Gibard, warned after a visit to Hiroshima that the “Warminers” were threatening the world of nuclear destruction.
In a speech in Riyadh last month, Trump condemned US intervention in the Middle East for decades, saying: “My greatest hope is to become a peace maker and a uniform. I do not like war.”
Israel support
Daniel Shapiro, who served as US ambassador to Israel under former President Barack Obama, said it was confident that the United States would support Israel’s defense against Iranian retaliation.
But Trump will “face tough decisions on eliminating Tehran’s under -ground nuclear facilities and using the United States’ unique capabilities to prevent Iranian nuclear weapons.”
“The decision will divide his advisers and political bases, among the allegations and perhaps his own misconduct, that Netanyahu is trying to drag him into the war.”
Lawmakers of the rival Democratic Party widely defamed Netanyahu, including Israel’s bloody aggression in Gaza.
“Netanyahu’s attack is pure destruction,” said Jokin Castro, a democratic representative.
“What does” America First “mean if Trump allows Netanyahu to drag the country into a war that Americans don’t want?” He wrote on social media.
Sina Tosi, a senior fellow at the Progressive Center for International Policy, said China -Trump has been identified as the highest threat – perhaps the moment, maybe moving to Taiwan, as it considers the United States even more engaging.
“Even without direct involvement, Washington now faces the possibility of indefinite period, intelligence and diplomatic backing for Israel, as war in Ukraine intensifies and increases global crises.
“The wars are easy to flare up, but once it is taken off, they spiral out of control, and rarely end up on the terms of those who start them.”
