Trump and Putin warn: Escalation in the Middle East threatens!
Nahost, Israel - President Donald Trump and Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin have once again called on the phone to talk about the dangerous escalation in the Middle East. This was reported by Russian state media and emphasized that the focus of the conversation was on the mutual attacks between Israel and Iran. Putin also informed Trump about the implementation of the agreements that were met during a meeting with a Ukrainian delegation on June 2 in Istanbul.
As part of the diplomatic efforts, Putin also telephoned with the Iranian head of state Massud Peseschkian and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In doing so, he condemned the Israeli air strikes on Iranian nuclear systems as violations of the UN charta and international law. Russia underlined the need for a diplomatic solution to the conflict about the Iranian nuclear program and called for a return to the discussion process with Israel. The Kremlin expressed its willingness to support a de -escalation of the situation, while Russia maintains a strategic partnership with Iran that currently provides weapons for war against Ukraine.
The context of the Middle East conflict
The latest tensions are not to be considered in isolation. On October 7 of this year, the terrorist organization Hamas Israel attacked, which led to an armed conflict. The humanitarian situation in Gaza has triggered solidarity statements from Arab countries worldwide, while the normalization of relationships between Israel and some Arab countries is currently in question. The Middle East conflict is not forgotten in society and has recorded a new generation that mobilizes in response to the situation.
It is also important that the Iranian regime welcomed the attack of Hamas and called on the resistance. Despite Iran's direct participation in the planning of the attack, there is evidence of the financial, logistical and military support of Iran for Hamas. Iran delivered missiles and rocket technology and supported them in building local production facilities.
The role of international actors
The escalation in the Middle East could continue to worsen, in particular by the threat, which is based on the Hisbollah in Lebanon, which is also supported by Iran. So far, the Hisbollah has held back to avoid direct military confrontation with Israel. In the region there is solidarity with the Palestinian civilian population, but no broad support for the axis of resistance led by Iran, which consists of various militant groups that act aggressively against Israel and the US presence in the Middle East.
In Iran itself, after October 7, no great expressions of solidarity were noticed for the Palestinian people, since the conflict is instrumentalized by the government for its own political purposes. The Iranian population is angry with the support of military actors and suffers from the precarious economic situation. This double morality creates frustration, while the lack of public solidarity is a form of refusal to the state, not necessarily against humanitarian suffering in Gaza.
In the middle of this complex and explosive situation, it remains to be seen whether the diplomatic efforts of the international actors, including the conversations between Trump and Putin, can lead to de -escalation. The situation could change at any time and requires a watchful eye on developments in the region.For more information: Oe24 , bpb .
