The crisis situation in the Middle East and the White House’s policy toward Iran remain at the center of global public attention. Opinions put forward by former heads of American diplomacy are revealing hidden agreements between Washington and Tel Aviv. Zamin.uz presents the key points of these geopolitical processes.
Sensational admissions by former Secretaries of State
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that the position of the United States in negotiations with Iran has significantly weakened. According to Mrs. Clinton, who served from 2009 to 2013, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has for many years been trying to push America into an armed conflict with Tehran.
“Netanyahu has tried to convince previous presidents to enter into an endless conflict with Iran. I have always rejected such actions that produced no real results,” Hillary Clinton said.
These remarks were also confirmed by another American political veteran, John Kerry. According to him, Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden consistently rejected Netanyahu’s requests to strike Iran.
Trump and Netanyahu’s “video presentation”
According to analysts, the launch of the U.S. military operation against Iran on February 28 of this year was the result of strong influence from Netanyahu. It is reported that the Israeli Prime Minister, through hours of negotiations and special video presentations at the White House, convinced Donald Trump of the need for regime change in Tehran.
However, this aggression became the least supported military action in U.S. history since World War II. The Trump administration was unable to present any solid evidence of a direct threat from Iran to the United States.
Economic pressure and political resignations
The launched aggression against Iran has led to a sharp rise in prices not only in the Middle East but also worldwide, including in the United States itself. This has increased internal and external pressure on the Trump administration. A number of officials dissatisfied with Washington “playing to Tel Aviv’s tune” are resigning from their positions.
Blow to international justice
The U.S. administration imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in order to protect Netanyahu. Such measures against an institution that claims to protect human rights and ensure global justice are considered by the international community to be an unprecedented step.
Dear readers, what do you think—what other negative effects could the U.S. war against Iran have on the global economy? How do you assess the White House’s sanctions against the International Criminal Court?
