From Gaza to Ukraine to Iran, Trump’s ‘peacemaker’ promise collapses | US foreign policy
Donald Trump announced that his most proud heritage would be “a peaceful and unifying ve and committed that the US power would stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity to an angry, violent and completely unpredictable world”.
Five months later, the second presidency witnessed the magnificent dissolution of this supreme aspiration.
A president who promises to end global conflicts – He said he would be solved in the first 24 hours – Instead, he chaired his climbs – the latest conflict between Israel and Iran.
The last time schedule of the latest conflict reunites a certain disconnection between Trump’s desires and reality: the wave of Israeli air strikes urged Israel not to attack Iran.
Trump’s Foreign Minister Marco Rubio suffered to describe the Israeli attack as “unilaterally ve and emphasized that the United States is“ not involved in strikes against Iran – but warned that Trump is good about Israel’s plans – and warned that more attacks would be “more rude”.
Trump’s Middle East ambassador Steve Witkoff, who emerged as the primary diplomatic negotiator in Trump’s Middle East and Ukraine, was still planning to go to Oman for negotiations about Tehran’s nuclear program this weekend, but seemed unlikely that Iranians would participate.
Trump’s mixed peace agenda was turmoil long before the attacks on Thursday.
The administration of the Gaza ceasefire helped the broker to collapse within weeks, Israel continued great bombardments, and the mortality rate exceeded at least 55,000 to the area of a three -month block for humanitarian aid.
In Ukraine – a conflict that Trump boasted would return to the task first – Russian forces came to the fore with a summer attack, entered DNipropetrovsk region For the first time and more power in three years – the evidence that Putin is planning to overcome Trump’s peace and further expand the war.
Meanwhile, Trump’s announcement of sudden fever between India and Pakistan was greeted with Fury in the new Delhi, where the authorities rejected the allegations of intermediary.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegsheth, while admitting that the Pentagon was on the congress developed unexpected status plans It is unclear how regional conquests fit the definition of peace in order to seize Greenland and Panama military.
The first period did not end the war, it almost led to conflict with Iran, and the signature saw the success of “peace – – Abraham agreements – Normalizing the relations between Israel and still non -fighting countries.
A part of Trump’s objection to voters was exactly the promise of avoiding foreign circulation. At the booths at the opening monitoring party, the supporters explained how they valued Guardian’s restriction on military deployment, and supported America’s first approach to international assistance and internal concerns. And not the fact that there is no conflict for Trump Peace, but Washington’s distance from him.
There is a potentially optimistic interpretation for the latest strikes in Iran. Iranian director Alex Vatanka, the Middle East Institute in Washington, claimed that Israel’s attack could be a gambling to shock Iran to serious negotiations. The theory claims that Israel persuaded Trump to allow limited strikes that put Tehran under pressure without triggering the regime change and convinces it using military action to re -initiate the stopped diplomacy. Friday Trump suggested that the strike in Iran could even increase the chances of a nuclear agreement.
“This is not likely to bring Iran back to the negotiation table, Andrew Borene, General Manager of Global Security in Flashpoint, and a former staff officer of the US National Intelligence Director, Andrew Borene. “In fact, a new hybrid, which will fight both on the ground and in the darkest corners of the Web, points to the opening of another rapidly expanding point in the global context of the Cold War.”
Whether this strategy is successful depends entirely on Iran’s reaction. The regime can either return to interrupted negotiations or abandon diplomacy and follow nuclear weapons more aggressively. First indicators Tehran may not be in a conciliatory mood After the facilities were bombed and the leaders were killed.
However, even if more optimistic readings are correct, it does not change the broader truth: it is concentrated at every major conflict clock promised to inherit or dissolve Trump.
Trump promised to be a peaceful. Instead, he rules more than one war as his diplomatic initiatives collapse in real time. From Gaza to Ukraine to Iran, the world looks more variable and dangerous than the time it swore five months ago.
