Hit nuclear systems Iranian with the super bombs or continue on the road to diplomacy To find an agreement with Tehran. This is the dilemma of Donald Trump which, deciding the path of military intervention, risks dragging theAmerica and the Middle East in a new conflict with unpredictable consequences. Without considering the unknown of a possible change of regime in Iran which could transform the country into a new Iraq or a new Afghanistan.

According to the American analyststhe next 48 hours They will be crucial for the president. The head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegsethassured that his department is “ready to perform any order” of the Commander-in-chiefThe Congress asks to be involved in decision -making process and, meanwhile, a third aircraft carrierthe Uss Fordis already being directed in Middle East.

The DonaldHowever, it seems to have not yet made a decision, at least not reveal it. Continue to ask for the unconditional yield Of Tehran but leaves a glimmer open for the diplomatic solutiondeclares to have lost patience but continues to launch ultimatum. On the other hand, for some observers, his unpredictability in foreign policy It is a very precise strategy: the so -called ‘Madman Theory‘, the crazy theoryalso used by Richard Nixon during the Cold War. It is, in practice, to take on an attitude of deliberate uncertainty to force the opponents (or even the alliesin the case of Trump) to bend to their conditions.

But what are the options that the American president Are you evaluating in these frenetic hours? First of all a direct intervention of the United States. The potentially most dangerous hypothesis with unimaginable consequences which, however, is on the table of Oval study For days. Even before the meeting on Monday in the Situation room, Trump had ordered the deployment in Europe of over thirty refueling planes which can be used to support i hunting to protect the basis and of the American staff in Middle East. They are these planes that can supply the fuel i B-2 bombersthe only aircraft of theUS army who can transport the gigantic mop bomb (abbreviation of Massive Ordnance Penetrator), also known by the code name Gbu-57one bomb from 12.3 tons developed precisely to hit the underground nuclear plants Of Fordow.

The second hypothesis is that Trump decides to continue supporting Benjamin Netanyahu without attacking directly. Publicly the American president he said he had urged the Israeli Premier to “go ahead”, but according to officials of the White house Trump does not want to get to the elimination of theayatollah ali khamenei. In this second case, i naval destroyer he is American terrestrial missiles who are already contributing to the defense of Israel against Iranian retaliation they would continue to do their job but there would be no ‘escalation in attacks with the super bombs.

The third possibility is that supported by sorceress movementThe step back. Distance themselves from Israel war against Iran and from support of iron to his friend Bibi In the name ofAmerica Firstthe promise that made the win election to Trump. THE’Iran has already threatened to attack the USA in the region if Washington will continue to support Israel or he will decide to enter war. And the risk of American losses will probably see exponentially growing the sorceress pressure on the president so that he withdraws and pushes Netanyahu to conclude theoffensive as soon as possible.
