The armed confrontation between Israel And Iran. The facts are known, the huge implications. Benjamin Netanyahu He launched a series of targeted air raids on Iranian strategic sites, hitting nuclear installations and military bases. The Iranian supreme guide, Wings Khameneidefined the Israeli offensive as a “serious mistake” and announced retaliation against the “Zionist regime”. Tehran started an intense missile response, also extending the conflict to Gaza. Trump, leaving the G7 in advance in Canada, asked the inhabitants of Tehran to leave the capital and threatened Khamenei, describing it as an “easy target”. At the moment, the United States did not make direct attacks, but provided support with a destroyer and military jets positioned in the region, monitoring the evolution of the situation. And it is precisely on the possible American involvement that all attention now focus.
During a series of meetings in the situation room of the White House, Trump and his national security team discussed several options to face the crisis. The president has repeatedly declared that he had Total control of the skies above Iranunderlining American technological superiority compared to Iranian defensive systems. “Nobody does things better than the good old United States,” he added to a post on social media.
One of the main hypotheses is the use of Massive Ordnance Penetrator, a “Bunker Buster” bomb designed to hit underground sites such as the Fordow plant, located under a mountain. Israel does not have the technical skills to effectively affect that site and is pressing the United States to intervene directly. Senator Lindsey Graham said: “If we can help Israel, we have to do it”.
The decision has not been made yet. Or at least not officially. “Attack the Iranian nuclear sites? I could do it or not to do it. But I will not say it in public,” he said Donald Trump Responding to journalists followed by the White House and inviting Netanyahu to “continue like this”. According to the president, Tehran finds himself “in big trouble and wants to negotiate” but “maybe it’s too late”. “They contacted us – explained The Donald – they hypothesized to come to the White House. But it seems late to me … even if it is never too late. I say only two simple words: rendering unconditional”. Trump then added that he had offered Iran “The final ultimum” because he “lost patience”: “Nothing ended until he finished. You know the war is very complex, many bad things can happen, there may be many turns, so I don’t know”. According to the US president, “next week it will be very large, perhaps less than a week, perhaps less”.
Negotiations in the balance
Despite the Israeli pressure, Trump insisted on to find a diplomatic agreement with Iran until a few days ago. Over the past few months, several interviews between the Delegations of the USA and Iran have taken place in Muscat, but have been suspended due to the intention of the conflict. Washington’s goal remains Tehran’s nuclear disarmament, but the window to negotiate seems to close quickly.
Aside Iranian, Khamenei responded to Trump’s statements by defining any US intervention a choice that would cause “irreparable damage“. At the same time, Iran intensified their attacks against Israel, causing dozens of victims and injuries. According to Aiea, some of the underground infrastructures present in Natanz would have already suffered significant damage. The Iranian mission at the UN then replied to the words of the US President:” No Iranian official has ever asked to crawl the
Gates of the White House “. The only more despicable thing about his lies is his cowardly threat to` eliminating the supreme guide of Iran. Iran does not negotiate under constraint, he will not accept peace under constriction, and certainly not with a warfounder “.
Divergences among world leaders
The crisis in the Middle East has divided international leaders. The German Chancellor Friedrich Merz He expressed his support for Israeli operations, describing them as “dirty work … that Israel is doing for all of us”. On the contrary, French President Emmanuel Macron urged to seek diplomatic solutions, underlining the risks of destabilization for the entire region. Even the European leader Kaja Kallas asked for an immediate de-Escalation, warning against the direct involvement of the United States.
Meanwhile, the Israeli defense minister Israel Katz He reiterated his intention to continue the operations against the symbols of power of the Iranian regime. From the Gaza Strip, the Israeli forces have intensified the air raids, with tragic consequences for civilians.
The future of the US-Israel alliance
Despite the internal divisions on the topic, Trump seems willing to carry on his aggressive strategy towards Tehran, a change compared to his initial election campaign focused on reducing American involvement in international conflicts.
