Once again, important and serious issues are being discussed under the walls of the White House. According to official sources, the latest meeting between US President Donald Trump and his national security advisors lasted more than an hour, and at the same time, did not put a final point on one of the most pressing foreign policy issues — the Iran-Israel relationship.
According to a report by CNN on June 17, during the meeting held at the White House, Trump seriously discussed the possibility of the US joining a potential Israeli military operation against Iran. It became known that the president is personally considering this option. However, his advisors reportedly have not reached a consensus — there are disagreements and contradictions in the White House on this issue.
According to CBS News White House correspondent Sara Cook, there is no complete unity even among Trump’s close advisors. It is clear that the American political elite is completely divided on this matter. Some call for caution from a security point of view, while others suggest taking tougher measures against Iran.
Meanwhile, CNN reports that the US has deployed more than 30 military aircraft to the Middle East in recent days. Sources believe that Trump may order the US Air Force to provide refueling or other logistical support to Israeli aircraft. This indicates the potential for further escalation of the conflict in the region.
The New York Times, quoting its sources, reports that if the US joins Israel and strikes Iran’s important nuclear facility in Fordo, Tehran has already prepared missiles and other weapons to attack American bases. This further increases the risk of the conflict spreading.
Additionally, Washington is concerned about increased attacks on ships in the Red Sea by Houthi forces in Yemen, and direct strikes by Iran-backed groups on US bases in Iraq and Syria. In this scenario, US interests throughout the Middle East could be at risk.
According to experts, if Washington stays out of this conflict, it may lose its influence in the region. If it joins, it may open the door to a major military confrontation and new geopolitical problems.
In the end, the American political and military elite face an extremely difficult choice: on one hand, international security and national interests; on the other hand, maintaining peace and stability in the region. It is clear that any decision Trump makes will affect not only America, but the entire world. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
