Donald Trump’s increasingly combative language suggests one outcome | Express Comment | Comment

At the beginning, the usual taste we expected between Israel and Iran turned into something more serious. Eight days after Israel’s attack on Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure, it is not a limited task, it was a long -term initiative to seduce the Iranian regime, neutralize nuclear ambitions and promote the change of the regime.

Since the overthrow of the Kingdom of Iran, the first militant Islamic Republic of Islam and Israel, which were first ruled by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and now Ali Khanei, became a deadly enemy. A fundamental belief of the Ayatullah is that Israel should “erase it from the face of the earth”. For 46 years, Iran approached Israel like a malicious shadow, and security analysts estimate that the day will come when they go to the square to fight for death for a long time. Apparently with us that day.

President Trump may have been angry with the original attack, but after his success became clear, he repeated his support to Israel, and the more warrior language against Iran rises every day the USA of the United States.

The US President said that on Thursday evening through a White House press briefing, he would decide whether a diplomatic solution would attack Iran because of a “important chance” in the next two weeks, but do not make mistakes, the situation was high.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Yemen -based terrorist groups, Iran’s allies, when the weakest chose the moment. Since the October 7 attacks in 2023, these regional militias such as the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah supported the collapse of President Bashar al -Assad’s repressive regime in Syria in December 2024.

Although it is diplomatic supported by Russia and China, Iran is now increasingly isolated in the region. Most of the other Gulf states led by Saudi Arabia were less aggressive Sunni Islamic persuasion and fear of the dominance of Iran. However, they will be equally tense of Israel, which fills this new regional power gap.

The rising lion operation seems to have been planned for years. However, the Israeli planes, including F-35 and KC-46 fuel supply tankers, could change on Syria for the first time thanks to the explosion of the Assad regime. We know that short -range drones are mounted from the hidden Mossad bases in Iran and released, which proposes a lot of preparations.

Iran’s defenses seem to have been so effectively neutralized that Israel now claims that their pilots can fly with little intervention over Tehran. Nuclear facility in the mountains around Natanz, one of the other bases attacked, causes the most concern. The Israelis suffered serious damage to most of the surface infrastructure, but I guess that it can start a special force raid to enter Netanyahu’s tunnels and destroy nuclear -related equipment beyond repair.

The Israeli Prime Minister is very aware of the risks of such an effort, because his brother Yonatan led a commando raid in 1976 to release hostages in Entebbe. The international community calls out to get out of the result, but Iran or Israel does not want an agreement. Both were twisted on revenge.

Aslan, rising for Netanyahu, represents once a generation of opportunity to force the regime change in his deadly neighbor, and will probably continue his “climbing dominance” as much as possible.

Keir Starmer will want to keep England directly away from the fire line in this conflict, the first major international test of its government. The ball is now on the verge of a regional tsunami in Tehran’s court.

In the meantime, Israel, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on the iron dome rocket defenses will have to endure ballistic missile attacks. We don’t know how weak Iran has become a military military, but Israel seems to be ready to provide less than the permanent emasculation of its neighbor and ultimately from the regime change in Tehran. Mr. Netanyahu can reach the first, but the latter may be beyond his grasp.
