It sets a two -week deadline to decide whether to participate in the conflict between the two countries escalates in a general conflict with serious implications on the geopolitical chessboard.
Donald Trump’s decision whether or not to help affect international developments on the geopolitical scene.
In two weeks the critical decision
White House spokesman Carolin Levit informs the press in the White House in Washington
The US president himself, in a statement, conveyed by White House spokesman Caroline Levitt, said he would make the critical decision in the next two weeks.
The Trump statement comes a few hours after an Israeli official speaking to the Times of Israel, referring to Donald Trump that “the expectation is that he will participate, but no one is pushing him.” “They have to make their own decision,” he said.
Time in diplomacy or surprise in Iran
However, the Trump statement raises questions as it has to be interpreted if the US president actually gives diplomacy time or if it is simply a trick to surprise Iran.
Trump: “No one knows”
“I may do it, may not, no one knows,” he recalls that Donald Trump said on Wednesday, while Washington appears divided into a military involvement.
Europe is looking for a diplomatic solution
For Friday (20/6), a meeting of Europe’s “Big 3” Ministry (France, Germany, Britain) with the Iranian Foreign Ministry has been scheduled for Friday (20/6). The talks appear to have the approval of Donald Trump, which is opening a window to a diplomatic solution.
How do Trump moves interpret international media
With their immediate analysis of three major international media, they attempt to interpret the planet’s statements. BBC, Al Jazeera and Sky News interpret what they say.
BBC: The temperature drops and opens a window for diplomacy
Gary O’Donoghue BBC correspondent writes: “Thus, in a brief statement, the temperature on potential US blows in Iran seems to have decreased by several degrees. Very deliberately, Donald Trump’s spokesman said in a hall full of journalists in the White House that he had a message from the president: I have a message directly from the president, and I quote: “On the basis of the fact that there is a significant chance that I can take it – Next two weeks »..
With everyone speculating that President Trump will come up with a decision within one or two days, the diplomacy window has opened – not exactly open, but more than a scratch.
European Foreign Ministers will meet with their Iranian counterpart in Switzerland on Friday, and the press spokesman said communication between US negotiators and Iranians are continuing.
There will be many who will breathe at least partially relieved this pause – though others will adopt a much more “waiting and see” approach.
Experience tells us that this president can overturn what we think he thinks at a time, through some short words on social media. “
Al Jazeera: Trump’s two -week deadline may be a trick
Al Jazeera’s Senior Analyst Marouan Bisara says Trump may still plan an attack on Iran within the two -week deadline that his spokesman just announced.
“He could really use this as a pretext to camouflage his true intentions and attack tomorrow,” Bisara said.
Trump had renewed his commitment to diplomacy with Iran a few hours before Israeli attacks began last week.
Bisara said the US president could also postpone his decision to allow talks between Iranian and European officials tomorrow and see where they may lead.
“If someone wanted to over-interpret it, I would say: it gives Europeans a little time so that everyone can save the pretexts,” he said.
Sky News: The critical words in Trump statement
As Caroline Levit completed the press information, the questions they dominated were the conflict between Israel and Iran.
The White House spokesman even read Donald Trump’s statement, stating that he would make a decision to attack Iran over the next two weeks.
However, there were few critical words in the statement by the US President, as Sky News correspondent David Blevins pointed out, stressing that Trump referred to a “substantial possibility of negotiations”.
“He confirmed that President Steve Witkov’s expert envoy remains in touch with the Iranians, and talked about the president’s desire for diplomacy, but also about not afraid to take military action if needed,” he said.
“He said that the proposal to Iran is reasonable and prudent, and said that the change of regime is not a priority for the president at the moment.”
Blevins described the type “particularly revealing” as described, noting that it was confirmed that Trump may wait up to two weeks before deciding whether or not there would be a US military action against Iran.
