THE Donald Trump holds in his hands the “key” to end conflict between Israel and Iran, according to Alon Pinkas, a former diplomat and two Israeli prime ministers adviser.
Talking to his newsday BBC World ServicePinkas argued that Trump is probably the only one who can intervene decisively – either approaching the Iranor by putting pressure on Israel to negotiate a peace agreement.
“The president could make a proposal to Tehran that allows her to” save the pretexts “and accept a peacekeeping solution,” explains. However, he adds that Iran is in a weak negotiating position and is motivated to continue the war to cause more damage to Israel.
“On the other hand, President Trump could simply pick up the phone and say to the Netanyahu: “It is enough – you have 24 hours to finish it”“, Pinkas points out.
Asked if Trump chooses to do one of the two, the former diplomat responded simple: “I don’t know it.”
Why is it difficult for Trump to stay out of conflict in the Middle East
Donald Trump does not want the US to engage in the conflict between Israel and Iran. But can he avoid it? Logic says that the US has no reason to proceed immediately with military operations, but they may be forced to do so.
CNN reported that Trump rejected Israeli plan for his murder Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to two sources. This, however, does not mean that all decisions pass through the White House.
If the regime in Iran considers that it has nothing to lose and decides to attack US bases and staff in the region or US targets around the world, Washington will be forced to respond hard to maintain credibility and prevent the worst.
Also, Tehran could put pressure on Trump to browse Israel, targeting international shipping in the Gulf or Red Sea, which would cause a global energy crisis.
Trump is also under pressure from the inside of his party for action that only the United States could take – a mission aimed at destroying one of the most important Iranian enrichment facilities in Fordu. The installation is underground as its main chamber is buried about 80 meters below the earth.
In accordance with CNNTrump is very cautious about throwing the US into battle, as this could lead to expanding the conflict and eventually an exhausting war without a clear end.
As the news network comments, if there is one lesson from the beginning of the 21st century, this is that the Middle East’s war targets and analyzes drawn up in Washington are almost always disastrous.
The overthrow of Saddam Hussein and the civil war in Syria show that the Middle East nations can simply split when gaps are created.
One of the factors complicating the situation for the US president is that while Israel’s attacks seem to have neutralized top military leaders and nuclear scientists, It remains unclear whether Israel is able to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program.
The former US Vice President Mike Pence He said on Sunday that if Israel’s attack does not somehow persuade Iran to make significant concessions in Trump’s diplomatic effort to end his nuclear program, then the United States should be ready to engage in the conflict.
“At the end of the day, if Israel needs our help to ensure that the Iranian nuclear program is destroyed once and for all, the US should be ready to do so because it is about protecting our most beloved ally,” Mike Penz stressed.
Trump’s failed foreign policy
Today, Trump is at the point where he hoped to find himself when he took over the US presidency. Trump began his second term in the White House as a … peacemaker.
However, five months later, two major wars that were raging (Gaza and Ukraine) when he took over his duties are at a worse stage and the dangerous new Israeli conflict with Iran is expected to put in place to put in place. The motto “first America” in a very big test.
Trump’s power has been despised by three main leaders: Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jing and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Putin ignored Trump’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Si has twice forced the US president to fold in the US -China trade war. And Netanyahu’s decision to start the conflict with Iran seems to cancel Trump’s diplomacy in Tehran.
In conclusion, Trump’s internal political base is becoming more and more fragile, while his already disputed international influence is expected to complicate his dilemmas even further.
In many ways, conflict with Iran is precisely the kind of international crisis without easy answers that Trump avoided during his first term. Now, it could determine the second, the CNN ends.
