In January, Donald Trump, who had promised to be a “peacemaker” when he returned to the White House, has taken a bold move by bringing the United States into the delicate dispute between Israel and Iran.
Trump is currently ruling over a region on the brink of even more conflict, in which America is actively involved, rather than bringing about peace in the Middle East as he did when he first took office.
Just over two hours after declaring on social media that American troops had targeted three nuclear installations in Iran, the president of the United States declared the operation had been a “spectacular success” in a televised speech to the country from the White House. Iran claims that the nuclear site at Fordo, which is well defended, was very slightly damaged. Which side is right will become clear with time.
Trump, flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, threatened to launch “far worse and a lot easier” assaults on Iran if they did not stop their nuclear program.
Trump said that the US will pursue the “many targets left” with “speed, precision, and skill.” The worst-case scenario for the US, the region, and the globe might be a prolonged American military presence in Iran, whatever the president’s bluster.
