It is the question that currently crosses all diplomatic offices. Will the United States enter the war between Iran and Israel? The question, in reality, is something cheat, since the North American country already intervenes in the conflict, even if it is only for the arms support for Israel. The thing is if it will do it directly. Israel needs it, they say, because only the United States has a weapon capable of penetrating into underground Iranian nuclear facilities. So, the doubt. What will the United States do? According to Donald Trump, he does not know himself. “You may do it, or not,” he told questions from journalists. The US president, accustomed to impulses, also said that he generates some adrenaline that of making decisions in the last second.
This week, the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal He published that Donald Trump had informed his advisors that he had approved the attack plans on Iran. He Journal It based information on three anonymous sources. But Trump, in his style, denied everything. Through his own social network, the president wrote: “The Wall Street Journal has no idea what I think about Iran!”
According to an American official to Axios, Trump’s doubts are based on the fact that he is not even sure that the breaking weapon that Israel requires can actually destroy the Iranian installation located under a mountain. As some media have published, including The Guardianthe American president “is not convinced of the efficacy of the bomb.” Some people, in fact, have pointed out that only a tactical nuclear bomb could achieve the objective of destruction that Israel seeks.
But Trump also has to deal with his. The single suspicion that the United States can go to war with Iran has generated rejection in strong magician sectors. The expressor Tucker Carlson, one of the most listened to the Make America Great Again, even called Trump “crazy”, although later, as the Republican revealed, he called him to apologize. A good part of Trump’s followers seem to go to war with Iran would break the famous motto of “United States, first”. And it’s not just that. Trump has always been sold as the president who would manage to stop world conflicts, and it is no longer that he has not succeeded with Ukraine, but now he even considers being a combatant part in Iran.
Despite uncertainty, the United States is already mobilizing its army. In addition to sending ships, these days it was learned that it has also brought to Europe, also to Spain, several cistern aircraft necessary to replenish military jets. Although American and Israeli arms power is undoubtedly superior to Iranian, its supreme leader has threatened an unprecedented response against the United States if they finally intervene.
The diplomatic option, now promoted by several European countries, remains open at least during the days Trump does not announce by surprise an intervention. These days, the Foreign Ministers of the United Kingdom, France and Germany met with their Iranian counterpart. His intention is that the Iranians feel again at the negotiating table, but nothing is safe. Iran, in the end, wants to continue developing its nuclear program to deter Israel, which will not allow it. Nor the United States, but not even Europe. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, in fact, said the other day that the Israeli would have to do the “dirty work.”
The reality is that, right now, only Donald Trump knows what will happen, or not even. Its deadline is increasingly short and the bombs continue to fall on both sides.
