Trump’s Iran gambling is full of risks

President Donald Trump, who returned to the White House in January, pledging to be a “peacemaker”, took a huge step to insert the United States into a crisis conflict between Iran and Israel.

Trump has not brought peace now, but has now presided over a region on the cliff of a greater war since taking office, a struggle for the United States to become an active participant.

In a televised speech to the United States, the president said the action was a “magnificent success” two hours after announcing on social media that the U.S. military attacked three nuclear sites in Iran.

He expressed his hope that his move would open the door to a longer lasting peace and that Iran no longer has the potential to become a nuclear force.

Iran said its severe Fudo nuclear power plant had only minor damage. Time will tell which side is correct.

Trump warned in the side of Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that if they don’t give up on their nuclear program, they will face future attacks that are “worse and easier”.

Trump said there are “many goals left” and the United States will follow them with “speed, precision and skill.”

Despite the President’s Bravado, the continued U.S. military in Iran may be the worst case for the United States, region and the world.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that this could be a “spiral of chaos” caused by the U.S. decision to escalate the conflict, noting that the Middle East is already “at the edge.”

If Iran’s revenge – Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that it would happen in the U.S. attack – the U.S. may feel forced to respond.

Trump’s remarks earlier this week were that Iran must “unconditional surrender” put the president in a difficult position to retreat. Iran has its own threat and has placed itself in a similar corner.

This is the beginning of the war – and how they go beyond the control and imagination of the people involved.

On Thursday, Donald Trump gave the Iranian a two-week deadline, but it turned out to be much shorter than expected – just two days. On Saturday night, the U.S. president announced that he had taken action.

Is the two weeks of negotiation fake? Did this weekend lure Iranians into a wrong sense of security? Or behind the scenes negotiations that collapsed by Trump-appointed peacemaker Steve Witkoff?

After the strike, it is little known. But in his social media posts and televised speeches, Trump tried to open the door to peace.

However, this may be an optimistic outlook. Despite the great efforts made by Israeli people to reduce Iran’s military capabilities, Ayatollah can still use weapons.

Things can get messy.

Now wait for the game to begin. How will Iran respond to attacks at three locations, including Fordo, seen as crown jewelry of its nuclear program?

Trump seems to hope that the U.S. strike forces Iran to make greater concessions at the negotiating table, but a country that is reluctant to talk under Israeli attacks seems less inclined to speak as U.S. bombs also decline.

Although Trump seems to suggest that the U.S. attack is a bizarre, successful event, if not, the pressure to strike again will grow – otherwise the president will pose a serious political risk to the serious political risk with minimal military gains.

Such risks include domestic political issues, as well as international security issues.

The prospect of the U.S. attack on Iran has attracted severe criticism from Democrats and has also attracted criticism from Trump’s own “America First” movement.

The president’s unusual decision to address his country was that his three closure advisers might be trying to unite within his party.

Vance, in particular, has been an advocate of more restrictive U.S. foreign policy, recently introduced to social media that Trump remains a non-interventionist and his supporters should be subject to the benefits of doubt.

If the attack was a one-time incident, Trump might be able to smooth out the divisions within his base. But if this puts America in a bigger conflict, the president may revolt with his ranks.

Saturday’s attack was an offensive move by a president who boasted that he had not launched a new war during his first presidency and often slammed the predecessors who drew the country into foreign conflicts on the campaign last year.

Trump took action. The place from here is not entirely within his control.
