The New York Times reported that former US President Donald Trump has refused to support Israel's planned strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in May. This decision was made after months of internal discussions and political wrangling.
According to sources, Trump preferred not to damage the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran. He had two options: a diplomatic solution or supporting Israel's military scenario. The White House preferred the first option.
Internal discord in the US administration
The issue of the military threat has caused sharp contradictions within the US government. While several ministries have advocated military action, Trump's aides have been skeptical about the outcome of the attack. They have argued that a strike on Iran could drag the United States into a full-scale war.
Ultimately, the general consensus has shifted toward refraining from military action. At the time, Iran has indicated that it is open to negotiations.
Israel was ready to strike
According to Israeli media and international sources, the Israeli defense establishment has developed specific plans to destroy Iran's nuclear infrastructure by striking. These strikes are intended to delay Tehran's nuclear program for at least a year.
Almost all of these plans involve direct US involvement - to provide security guarantees, to provide airstrikes, and to provide support against a possible Iranian response.
It should be noted that the United States has already delivered heavy bombs to Israel - in particular, MK-84 bombs. Also, more than 3,000 missiles and other offensive weapons are being prepared for deployment.
The rough-and-tumble approach of Trump's presidency has shown itself again this time. According to political analysts, he preferred a diplomatic solution and avoided drawing the US directly into the war. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
