Trump appoints security council: is the conflict with Iran ahead?

Oman, Oman - President Donald Trump has called the National Security Council today to discuss the escalating Situation in the Middle East. This decision was officially announced by the White House. In particular, speculating about possible direct intervention by the United States in the conflict between Israel and Iran. In the past, Trump has threatened the murder of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei and claimed that he knew where Khamenei hides. Nevertheless, he explained that the time for such a killing had not yet come, so OE24.

The conflict between Israel and Iran continues to come to a head. Last night there was a wave of Iranian attacks on Israel, to which the Israeli army previously reacted to Iran with its own attacks. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that the United States was informed, but the Israeli attack was alone. In a telephone interview, Trump said that despite the tensions, he tried to help Iran and achieve a new agreement. However, the talks about an atomic deal with Iran have been stalling for some time, which could endanger a meeting in Oman due to the current situation that was scheduled for Sunday. Trump had set a 60-day period for an agreement that may have motivated Israel's decision to attack. These developments attract the attention of the international community, since they are classified as potentially dangerous by the International Atomic Energy Organization (IAEA) zdfheute .

growing tensions and safety concerns

Politologist Michael Lüders warns that the current conflict has the potential to initiate a long war. Israel officially pursues the goal of preventing an Iranian nuclear weapons program. However, Lüders sees the change of regime as the actual goal of Israeli politics. The US intelligence agencies had previously stated that Iran is currently not working on the development of an atomic bomb, which increases the urgency of the situation and that geopolitical relationships further complicated bpb .

It remains unclear whether military steps between Trump and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were discussed. The worrying situation is further exacerbated by the low communication of the US government about developments. The IAEA boss Rafael Grossi has warned Israel that an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities could have serious consequences because they are well protected. The pressure on Trump to find a solution to the Iranian nuclear weapons program is growing while Iran rejected the US conditions for negotiations.

The global security situation is strongly influenced by developments in the Middle East, and the strategic approach of the United States with these conflicts is the focus of the discussions about the future foreign policy of Trump. After a time of interventionism under George W. Bush and the withdrawal under Barack Obama, Trump is faced with the challenge of defining the American role in a changing geopolitical environment.
