Iran threatens retaliation: Trump is considering military strikes in the nuclear conflict!

The tensions between the USA and Iran reach a new highlight after President Donald Trump has approved attack plans against Iran. According to reports, Trump has not yet made a final decision to implement these plans. As reports [OE24], this information is based on a quote from the "Wall Street Journal", which quotes three informed people for the preparations. Trump wants to wait and see if Iran is willing to give up his controversial nuclear program.

In the meantime, Iran has reacted to the impending military measures. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi warned of retaliation if the US government intervened together with Israel. He made it clear that Iran is considering all the necessary military options. Vice Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi also did not rule out a military answer. In this tense climate, a meeting of the Foreign Minister of European countries with Iranian representatives is planned for the discussion of the nuclear program for Friday, as [Tagesschau] reports.

political guidelines and military options

American politics for military intervention in the conflict between Israel and Iran remains divided. Trump announced that he was planning "something big" for the coming week while he at the same time explained that Iran was in great difficulties. He also mentioned that the Iranian leadership contacted him to negotiate, which he thought was premature. There are different opinions, especially within the Republicans. For example, Mike Lawler supports a possible military operation against Iranian nuclear systems, while Tim Burchette warns against another war in the Middle East and recommends that Israel should switch off the threats independently.

There are also great concerns among American politicians that more than 40,000 US soldiers in the region could be in danger as goals for Iranian countermas. Marko Papic, a geopolitical strategy expert, expressed that targeted intervention by the United States could serve to persuade Iran to offer a negotiating offer. This is in contrast to the warning of the Iranian head Ajatollah Ali Chamenei, who sees military intervention as a irreversible danger to the region.

military presence and possible attacks

In order to strengthen the military presence in the Middle East, the United States has moved additional combat aircraft and warships to the region. These steps were decided in the course of consultations in the Security Council of the White House. Vice President JD Vance emphasized that the protection of American soldiers and citizens had a top priority. Ex-Nato Ober commander Wesley Clark spoke of increased pressure on Iran, pointing out that special unit interventions could be necessary to significantly damage the Iranian nuclear program. The United States could fall back on the GBU-57, a state-of-the-art flying bomb, which can only be used by the US air weapon and has an enormous punch.

In the further course it will be shown how this conflict will develop, while both the American and the Iranian side weigh up its strategic options.
