Trump threatens Iran: massive response to attacks on US facilities!
In a current statement,President Donald Trump made it clear that the US military was not involved in the nightly Israeli attacks in Iran. This statement fell in the context of an escalating conflict, in which Israel carried out massive air strikes on Iranian goals to stop the Iranian nuclear program. Trump warned the Iranian leadership of possible attacks on US facilities and threatened with a massive military counter-strike, should an attack on Americans, such as reported.
The US President renewed his demand to Iran to conclude an agreement regarding his nuclear program that could calm the tensions in the region. Trump assumes that such an agreement between Iran and Israel is "easy to achieve" to end the conflict. In the meantime, Iran is still active in uranium enrichment and has emphasized that this process for civil purposes is necessary, which is questioned by Western states, especially Israel.
military and economic consequences
The United States remains stationed with around 40,000 soldiers in the region, including in Qatar and Bahrain. This presence may now have been reinforced after Israel had asked for support in the war against Iran in the past 48 hours. The Israeli Minister for Strategic Enlightenment and the head of the Mossad are also planning a trip to the United States to advise on the situation.
In response to the attacks, Israel has announced that the facility in Fordo, a key-only enrichment system of Iran, have targeted. This is difficult to reach because Israel has not enough bunker bombs and large bombers to destroy them. At the same time, Trump has made it clear that the United States has the necessary means and bombers to attack the Iranian nuclear systems if necessary.
regional tensions and diplomatic efforts
The diplomatic tensions between the USA and Iran are increasing. Talks about the Iranian nuclear program are to be continued in Oman next weekend. Oman's Foreign Minister confirmed the sixth round of talks that are about replacing the nuclear agreement terminated by the USA in 2018. So far, however, the negotiations have remained without tangible results, with a central point of dispute representing uranium enrichment. Iran considers this to be "not negotiable", while the United States defines the enrichment as a "red line", as Zeit.de
In addition to the military and diplomatic tensions, the aggressive military activities have raised heating oil prices in Germany. The price for 100 liters of heating oil is currently around 93 euros after it still cost 87 euros in May, which further reinforces the economic effects of the conflicts.
In the meantime, Iran is actively in its threats and has identified potential goals for retaliation attacks, including regional military bases and ships in the Persian Gulf and in the Red Sea. In this tense geopolitical climate, the Republic of Cyprus introduced a warning app that helps the citizens to find protective bunkers and to provide information on protection in the event of an attack, such as nordbayern.de reported.| Details | |
