Donald Trump writes on the platform of social truth that Iran’s counterattack was weak and there were no dead, because the United States was warned during the attack. “Thanks to Iran for notification to us in advance, which allowed us to avoid losses of life and that no one was injured,” Trump wrote.
Meanwhile, the US administration confirmed that its goal is to limit the development of Iran’s weapons without rising to the open regional war. Nevertheless, recent actions reflect an increasingly aggressive position and suggest that Washington is ready to use direct military force if it considers it necessary.
In fact, in the last hours, President Donald Trump published a message about his truth of a social network, which may mean that the “change of regime” in Iran is still a decision that Washington can argue.
“It is impossible to politically correctly use the term“ change of regime ”, but if the current Iranian regime cannot make Iran Grande again, why will there be a change in the regime?” “
Before the attack on these bases, Iran publicly warned that he could continue to attack any country that provides its territory or infrastructure for US military operations, including key allies in the Persian Gulf. In response, the US State Department issued a global security warning, urging its citizens extreme precautions for the risk of attacks, protests and closing airspace in the Middle East.
Another of the most alarming threats is an interruption of movement through the Ormuz Strait, the sea path, where about a third of oil that supplies the world circulates. Destruction can destroy energy markets and release a new international economic crisis. In this regard, Trump warned manufacturers in the United States to increase the availability of crude oil and threatened not to “play for the enemy”.
All this happens in the prelude to the NATO summit, which begins in the Hague, the Netherlands. The meeting fell at the time of high tension, so these will be important issues, such as an increase in obligations on national expenses, assistance in Ukraine, arising threats from Iran and relations with the United States under the president of Donald Trump.
This will be the first transatlantic peak of the Republican after his return to the White House in January, and all eyes will be applied to him, which did not avoid explosive moments with allies in the main roles, even on previous NATO summits.
