Israel as a risk factor in the American-Iranian war deal

“I was so pissed off”

“Why did Bibi have to do a fucking attack?”, according to the news portal Axios, Trump went into a frenzy on Sunday and couldn’t stop himself: “I was so pissed off” … He still has fucking judgement. I let him know that” (He absolutely did no judgment. I let him know that too).

What made the US head of state so angry on his 80th birthday was precisely that Israeli attacks in Lebanonthe American-Iranian deal almost fail let. “If you (meaning Trump; note) do not have the will and ability to fulfill your obligations, it is impossible to speak of continuing on the path,” said Iranian chief negotiator Mohammed Bager Qalibaf on Platform X. Because for Tehran, a ceasefire must also apply to Lebanon. Ultimately, the USA and Iran still achieved that longed-for agreementwhich was recognized worldwide.

But Israel remains the big risk factor in the fragile structure. According to Lebanese information, there were renewed Israeli attacks on the south of the cedar state on Monday. Among other things, several people were injured in a drone attack. Those too Hezbollah is said to have launched attacks on Israeli soldiers’ positions in southern Lebanon. These bases, that’s what Israel eliminated Defense Minister Israel Katz come out, you won’t be evicted. In order to protect their own borders, they will not withdraw from these occupied areas, nor from those in Syria and the Gaza Strip. He and Netanyahu made this clear to Trump. Also: If Iran attacks Israel because of the events in Lebanon, the country will retaliate.

“You’re fucking crazy”

There have been serious disagreements between Trump and Netanyahu recently. At the beginning of the month, the US President is said to have snapped at the Israeli head of government with the words “You’re fucking crazy” when he threatened new attacks on Beirut. But Netanyahu was not dissuaded, which forced Trump to give the sobering conclusion in the New York Times: “He’s a very difficult guy.”
