Trump threatens the Moab: is the big blow against Iran?
Teheran, Iran - President Donald Trump gathered his national security team in the "situation room" of the White House to discuss the current escalation between Israel and Iran. The meeting took place against the background of intensive military conflicts, which have led to tightening the tensions in the region in the past few days. The results of the meeting have not yet been published, but a clear strategy seems to be in the air.
currently supports the US military Israel, but does not participate directly in the conflicts. Trump asked Iran for "unconditional surrender" and explained that airspace over Iran was under control of the United States. This statement contrasts with the latest reports by his secret service coordinator Tulsi Gabbard, who said that Iran is currently not building a atomic bomb. Trump, on the other hand, is convinced that Iran is "very close" to develop nuclear weapons.
military attacks and their consequences
The violent spiral between Israel and Iran increases. On June 13, 2025, the Israeli Air Force carried out several significant attacks on the Iranian nuclear program, including the nuclear system in Natanz. These attacks were confirmed by the international Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), but initially no increased radiation values were measured. There are also six prominent Iranian nuclear scientists among the victims.
In addition, the headquarters of the Islamic revolutionary guard in Tehran and oil systems in Tabriz were targets of the attacks. Reports about civilian victims, including children, have caused outrage worldwide. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has asked the UN Security Council to deal with the Israeli attacks that are considered to be a "declaration of war".
In response to the attacks, Iran fired missiles and drones towards Israel, but they were intercepted outside of the Israeli state area. Israel has proclaimed the state of emergency and closed all diplomatic representations worldwide. In addition, new intelligence information was published, which stated that Iran is about a "point of no return" in the development of an atomic bomb.
international reactions and the future of the nuclear program
With the increase in military aggression, there is concern about the potential effects on the diplomatic efforts in terms of a new nuclear agreement. Trump asked Iran to quickly complete a deal to end the attacks. Iran's reaction was to cancel the ongoing talks about a new nuclear agreement.
political voices in both the USA and internationally express concerns. Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned of an escalation, while UN Secretary General António Guterres warned both sides to moderate. There are also concerns about possible Iranian retaliating actions that could affect US forces in the Middle East.
experts warn and criticize Trump's early and sharp rhetoric. Security advisor Steve Witkoff expressed concerns about the possibility of Iranian retaliation, while Senator Tim Kaine described the Israeli attack as an affront against the US government. It remains unclear whether the US government has actually influenced the Israeli military campaigns.
In the middle of this tense situation, analysts rate the conflict as potentially lengthy and dangerous regarding the stability in the Middle East. Iran continues to emphasize that its nuclear program only serves civil purposes. The lack of an independent access of the IAEA to the Iranian nuclear program is a central problem for future negotiations.The situation remains precarious, and it is expected that the waves of attack will continue in the coming days, while the international community is pushing for a solution. The conflict between Israel and Iran is still in focus, while the United States is trying to exert its influence.
