"United States bombed Iran's atomic objects and thus became an active associate in the mediate East war – a very risky step, besides for Donald Trump," writes Juliane Schaeuble in a commentary published on Sunday on the weekly portal "Die Zeit".
The author stressed that Trump had introduced his country to the "war of Israel" without, as it seems, the consent of Congress. "The Republican president who wanted to end endless wars took the hazard of implicating his country in just specified a conflict. He went all the way," reads Die Zeit.
The mediate East stands on the brink of a large war, and America actively participates in it," says Schaeuble, pointing out that this means the failure of all Trump's promises, which promised to bring about fast peace.
Persian Spring? More like doubtful.
The commentator draws attention to optimistic voices suggesting that it is possible to "persian spring" – Iran's improvement towards a peaceful power without atomic ambitions.
Schaeuble has a negative outlook on specified a scenario. The escalation of the conflict may increase the likelihood of a atomic bomb being built. The war will only hold the atomic investigation program. past teaches that attempts to "regime change" – a force change of power lead to fresh threats.
How will MEGA react?
In retaliation, Iran may attack a number of U.S. targets, with 40,000 U.S. troops stationed in the mediate East. The commentator points out that most Americans express skepticism towards military intervention in polls.
Schaeuble besides writes about the reactions of the isolationist MEGA movement to the air strike against Iran. How much will be the rage of the MAG members on Trump's decision? The author recalled that peculiar services coordinator Tulsi Gabbard said in spring that Iran was not building an atomic bomb. According to Die Zeit, much will depend on whether the US and Israel supply compelling evidence of advanced bomb work.
According to Schaeuble, the fear of the "spiral of chaos" is now growing. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that the mediate East stands on the "edge of the abyss". On platform X, the "World War III" hashtag is becoming increasingly popular.
