The Israeli attack on Iran was discussed with Washington before it was launched. “There was no surprise here,” Fox News anchor Brett Bair said last Friday after an interview with US President Donald Trump.
The US government has clarified that it was not actively involved in the attack, although the question raised questions on whether this is when the aircraft carrier USN Nimitz was re -run from the South China Sea to the Middle East. And on Tuesday, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth social that America knew the exact place of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
“He is an easy goal, but there is safe,” Trump wrote. “We are not taking him out (kill!), At least not for now.”
On the campaign mark before the US presidential election of 2024, Trump never tired of repeating that he had no desire to allow America to achieve in global military conflicts. In his inaugural address of January 2025, Trump said Himal a “peacemaker,”, “UNC’s strength” stops all wars and brings a new sense of unity “for the world. Speaking in Saudi Arabia in May, he announced a new era of peace in the Middle East.
What is Trump’s attitude on Iran?
need Many relics of this peaceful attitude in view of Israel’s full attack on Iran. On Monday night, Trump wrote on Truth Social that “everyone should immediately vacate Tehran.”
In the previous post, he wrote that he had given Tehran’s leaders “opportunity” to sign a new nuclear deal, warning that if he failed to sign a one, Iran would face a worse attack than anything he can imagine. Trump wrote that the fundamentalist against an agreement “Now all dead,” adding, “It will only be worse!”
Since April, the delegation of the two nations met several times from April, with the aim of interacting on a replacement treaty for JCPOA (joint comprehensive action plan), Trump withdrew the US from 2018. Trump claimed that he always to ensure that Iran could not manufacture nuclear weapons – which is the purpose of JCPOA. Beyond the military and civil goals, Israel’s attacks killed the Iranian nuclear sites.
Is Israel a pioneer in America?
So where was Donald Trump actually standing in this struggle between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s staunch governments and Ayatollah Ali Khameni in Iran?
Non-profit research institute US/Middle East Project Chairman British-Israeli political scientist Daniel Levi suggested that Israel assured the US that a military attack could help Iran below and Tehran to pursue nuclear talks.
Levi told DW that it was no coincidence that Israel had chosen to attack the moment. “I think one of the primary motivational factors for Netanyahu was now to act because there was a break-wealth in the talks, he would feel proxy that the Americans were adequately forced to not work.”
In any case, Trump decided not to rednate Netanyahu’s attack on Iran, Willian F. Witchler was written in a blog post for the US think tank Atlantic Council, where he is the director of the Middle East Program. Changer wrote, “There was no special demand that Israel refrained from attacking,” Therefore, we should assume that the leaders of Israel would interpret the absence of American red lights as a real green light, “the Changer wrote.
Trump got stuck in the middle
In May, Trump made headlines by firing his National Security Advisor, Michael Waltz, who made a headache for administration by incorrectly adding a famous journalist to American military schemes of a chat group discate on the Messenger Service Signal. But research by Washington Post The newspaper found that something else was really fired by Waltz: Trump’s advisor said that before the Netanyahu travel on the white back, there was a thorough discussion with Prime Minister Netanyahu about potential military options to treat Iran. Paper wrote that Waltz, “Wanted to take American policy in one direction, was not comfortable with Trump …”
So where did the American commander-in-chief stand at all? Does he oppose military action against Iran, or does he see it as the basis for celebration? In Levy’s view, the US President is dealing from the front and back as his own Maga (Make America Great Again) is highly divided on the issue of military deployment in the Middle East.
“Maga-World has a fissure in Maga-World,” says Levi. On the one hand, there are people who are all on Trump’s “America First” approach that puts interest on us and all. The last thing that this group wants is to join a distant struggle for America that they do not directly affect them. On the other hand, many conservatives of Trump are Jewish-American and G. Christians who believe that the US should not have a case, if necessary, if necessary. Levi says the situation is risky.
Political scientists say, “Is there a question here whether an America will be seen in the rest of the world, which can be led by a colleague in a military confrontation by a colleague, which works in turn.” “This is not a good message to send.”
