Trump announces at the end of the twelve day war - no new conflict in sight!

In the continuing conflict between Iran and Israel, US President Donald Trump has given a remarkable explanation today. He expressed the conviction that the conflict that he described as "twelve days of war" was over. Trump does not believe in future arguments and compares the latest military attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities with the atomic bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. The President emphasizes that these operations of the US armed forces have ended a war, although reports from Iran speak of 627 deaths and 4,870 injuries, while the human rights network Hrana even assumes more than 1,000 deaths, most of them in Tehran.

The conflict also triggered international reactions. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spelled the US air attacks on three Iranian nuclear locations and described them as a "aggressive act" and "hideous crime". He warned of "permanent", "dangerous" and "far -reaching" consequences. In this context, Araghchi called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council due to a possible violation of the UN Security Council resolution 2231.

regional context and military action

The air strikes of the USA, which were carried out with B-2-stealth bombers, aimed at the nuclear locations in Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan. Trump described this mission as "very successful" and announced that the US bombers had "completely destroyed" the nuclear locations. During the US attacks there was a change of rocket between Israel and Iran, even ten days after the conflict began. Trump warned Iran of retaliatory measures and threatened to react a superior reaction, which has increased the tensions.

In the days before the US attacks, discussions about a possible nuclear agreement between Iran and the United States, which are now interrupted due to the attacks. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian called the "primary instigator" of these attacks and called the public to unite against the offensive of Israel and the USA.

reactions and the way to the ceasefire

Despite the attacks and the escalating conflict situation, Trump announced that he is considering a ceasefire that should come into force within 24 hours. This de -escalation strategy could help relax the tense conditions, especially since Qatar also plays a mediating role. Both Israel and Iran have confirmed the fire break, but it remains unclear whether both sides actually adhere to it.

Despite the conviction of the President that the conflict is over, a survey shows that 60% of the US sustainers are against war participation in the Middle East. Critical voices come not only from the Maga movement, but also from Republican MPs who express concerns about Trump's military approach. The White House has defended the attack as a limited use and not as a declaration of war.

The geopolitical effects are far -reaching, especially if you look at the possibility of further attacks by groups or hacker attacks supported by Iran. Experts warn that Iran could also block the street of hormus, which would affect global oil trade. The European Community is concerned about the situation because it has been surprised by the US intervention and sees its possibilities to influence the conflict.

In a context that is characterized by uncertainty, Trump emphasizes his role as a pent of peace, while political stability in the United States depends on the fragility of the current ceasefire. The turning point in the conflict marks a new phase of the military discussion in which the USA now actively operate.
