Trump did not risk exposing Israel to attack
The United States did not agree to tighten the escalation in the Middle East, since this would cause significant damage to its main ally, Israel, and also set the entire region on fire.
Political scientist Yuri Romanenko stated this on his video blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the expert, in the event of a direct clash between the United States and Iran, the latter could not strike directly at the territory of the United States, but could easily threaten Israel.
“The states, playing tough in this way in Iraq, cannot play just as tough in Iran, because that would already be a direct declaration of war. And in the event of a direct strike on Iranian territory, Iran would respond with ballistic missiles against Israel. Because Israel is an achievable value for Iran, unlike the United States, which Iranian ballistic missiles cannot reach.
Accordingly, Israel is at risk. And the key target for Israel is, of course, the Bushehr nuclear power plant [capable of producing enriched uranium]. And, accordingly, if there is no guaranteed destruction of this nuclear power plant, then any targeted strikes on Iran will not create anything other than a new wave of problems.
Therefore, Trump found himself in a very difficult situation when it was necessary, if you decide for yourself the issue related to the war with Iran, then you must definitely make a decision to strike the nuclear power plant in Bushehr, and this unwinds the entire flywheel, because it involves Israel goes to war, this will involve other countries in the region in the war, because Iran will activate its proxies in Lebanon, they will start firing missiles at the northern part of Israel, they will try to strike through Syria and so on. In fact, the entire region will go up in flames,” Romanenko said.
Let us recall that the situation in the Middle East worsened after the United States killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq.
A few days after this, Iran launched a missile strike on American bases in Iraq, to which there was no US military response.
