The decisions of US President Donald Trump, the racist, misogynistic war criminal, have strengthened the aggressive stance of the Zionist and genocidal state of Israel, launching an open war with Iran and provoking a Third World War.
Washington’s unconditional and historic support for Israel, especially in its confrontation with Iran, has undermined the stability of the entire Middle East. This support includes the sale of advanced weapons to the Zionist regime, such as precision-guided bombs, and the veto of UN resolutions condemning Israeli actions, such as the bombings in Lebanon and Syria in 2024, but above all the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Trump’s poor decisions, influenced by Republican neoconservatives, date back to his withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) in May 2018. This decision, followed by the imposition of severe economic sanctions, such as a ban on Iranian oil exports, sought to weaken Tehran, but had the opposite effect. Iran increased its uranium enrichment to 60% by 2020, approaching the level needed for nuclear weapons, and strengthened its alliance with groups like Hezbollah.
Trump’s “maximum pressure” policy isolated the United States from European allies, who continued to support the JCPOA, and gave Iran leverage to reject negotiations, complicating diplomacy until 2025.
The United States has a double standard in its foreign policy. While condemning Iran for its support for militias in Iraq and Yemen, it ignores Israeli actions, such as the attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus in April 2024, which killed 16 people, including seven Iranian officials. This bias, evident during the Trump administration, is attributed to the influence of pro-Israeli lobbies and the alliance with Saudi Arabia, which Trump reinforced with $110 billion in arms deals in 2017. This stance has damaged the United States’ credibility as a mediator, fueling perceptions of hypocrisy among Arab countries.
Another key point is the lack of a long-term strategy in the policies of Trump and his successors. The withdrawal from the JCPOA did not include an alternative plan to contain Iran’s nuclear program, and the sanctions only hardened Tehran’s stance, which had expanded its ballistic missile capabilities by 2025.
The reliance on coercive measures, rather than diplomacy, has limited the United States’ options, leaving it vulnerable to a potential escalation. Joint Israeli-US military exercises in 2024, simulating attacks on Iran, have heightened tensions without offering a viable solution.
The Trump administration’s blind support for Israel and hostility toward Iran could trigger a devastating regional conflict. Washington’s belligerent rhetoric, coupled with a lack of dialogue with Tehran, has narrowed the space for negotiations. In 2025, with Iran moving closer to nuclear capabilities and Israel intensifying its operations, the United States faces the risk of being drawn into a war without a clear strategy, a scenario attributed to short-sighted decisions and Trump’s poor management.
