Trump’s victory may pave the way for Israel to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities

by times news cr

International newspapers and websites focused ⁣their attention on the possibility of Israel attacking Iran’s‌ nuclear facilities‌ if Republican candidate Donald Trump wins the US presidency.

The article explains that “Tehran will face difficulty in renewing its defense systems if the damage is as great as Israel claims, especially in light of its ally Russia’s preoccupation ​with the war ‌with Ukraine.”

The article concluded that Republican candidate Trump’s victory in the US presidential elections “may be a good opportunity for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin‌ Netanyahu to achieve ​his dream.”

magazine reported Newsweek The American newspaper said that Russia ⁤may be an effective element in ⁣a deal to stop the conflict between Israel and ‌Hezbollah, in light of ⁤Moscow’s relationship with Tehran ‍and the ⁣Israeli side’s welcome of the idea.

The magazine explained that ​this proposal is reinforced by increasing questions about Washington’s influence in the region, which has been experiencing escalation for more than a year.

She saw a newspaper Financial Times The⁣ British newspaper said that it is difficult for Lebanon to accept the conditions that came in the draft ceasefire agreement, indicating that Israel is aware of this⁤ fact.

According to the newspaper, the director of the Carnegie Middle​ East Institute ruled out the approval of any ⁤of the political parties⁢ in Lebanon, including those opposed to Hezbollah, for incomplete sovereignty over Lebanon despite the circumstances it is going through.

A newspaper‍ says Haaretz The Israeli ⁢newspaper said that all the wars and conflicts that Israel is currently waging ‍“lack ⁤political solutions, but rather bear signs of ⁢a war that may last 20 years,” including the​ ongoing Israeli escalation in Gaza and Lebanon.

The newspaper believes that the conditions for a long-term agreement with ​the ⁣Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) or Hezbollah are not available, considering that any‍ attempt by Israel to occupy parts of Gaza or Lebanon “means years of‍ rebellion.”

And shed a site Mediapart The French newspaper highlighted Gaza as one of the areas with the highest percentage of people with permanent disabilities in the world after a year‍ of​ war caused by a variety of Israeli weapons.

Interview between Time.news Editor and Middle East Expert

Editor: Welcome, Dr.‌ Hassan, and thank you for joining ⁤us today. There’s⁤ a lot of ⁣buzz regarding the ⁣potential geopolitical implications of ⁣the upcoming U.S. ⁣presidential elections,​ particularly concerning‌ Israel’s stance toward Iran. With Donald⁤ Trump ⁣as a candidate, how do you assess the situation?

Dr. Hassan: Thank you for having me. It’s a⁢ pleasure⁢ to⁤ be⁣ here. Indeed, there’s a substantial amount ​of speculation surrounding Trump’s‍ return to power. Historically, his administration exhibited a proactive⁣ approach regarding Israel, which has raised concerns about a possible military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Editor: The article ‍emphasizes that ​if Israel were⁣ to attack, it could create significant challenges for⁤ Tehran, especially given ⁤its reliance on Russia. Can you elaborate on the dynamics ⁢between‌ these countries, particularly in the current context ⁣of the Ukraine war?

Dr. Hassan: Absolutely. Russia is currently ⁣tied up in Ukraine, which limits its capacity to support ⁣Iran fully. If Israel⁣ executes a significant strike, Iran’s ability​ to fortify ‌its defenses would be severely hampered. Moscow’s ​preoccupation means it might lack the immediate bandwidth to ⁢counteract Israeli actions, shifting the‍ power balance in the region.

Editor: That ⁣brings ⁢us ⁢to the⁣ idea of Trump potentially ​facilitating Prime Minister ⁢Netanyahu’s ambitions.‌ What do you think Netanyahu hopes to gain from a Trump presidency?

Dr.‍ Hassan: Netanyahu has long envisioned ⁤a more ‌assertive Israel on the geopolitical stage, particularly concerning Iran. A Trump presidency could enable⁣ him ⁣to pursue‍ more aggressive military strategies without fear of significant pushback ‍from Washington, enriching ⁢Israel’s defense posture against perceived existential threats.

Editor:⁣ The article ‌from Newsweek suggests Russia might ⁢play a pivotal role in mediating between Israel and Hezbollah. Is that a feasible‌ scenario?

Dr. Hassan:⁢ It’s quite conceivable. Russia has ‍historically ‌maintained a complex‍ relationship with both ​Iran and Israel, ⁢and it has leverage in Lebanese politics, particularly through ⁤its ties to Hezbollah. If Moscow positions itself as ⁤a ⁤mediator, it could ⁣steer diplomatic resolutions, especially if there’s ⁢a mutual interest in reducing⁣ tensions—a ​prospect both Israel and Russia seem willing to explore.

Editor: Let’s discuss the Lebanese political landscape. The Financial Times suggests that⁤ any ceasefire initiatives might ⁤struggle to gain traction. What are the main obstacles?

Dr. Hassan: Lebanon faces a myriad of challenges with its political factions. The ongoing power ‌struggle and Hezbollah’s entrenched influence⁤ make⁣ it difficult to coordinate a unified response.‍ Moreover, any deal perceived as undermining Lebanon’s sovereignty will‍ face robust opposition, even from factions that typically align‍ against‍ Hezbollah. The intricacies of Lebanese politics‌ mean no side can easily navigate a ceasefire without substantial compromises.

Editor: So, with the upcoming ‍U.S. elections,⁣ tensions in ​the Middle East are poised for potentially significant shifts. What do you foresee as⁣ the most critical developments ⁢if these scenarios unfold?

Dr. ⁤Hassan: We could see a⁢ redefining of alliances and a⁢ possible escalation of military actions contingent on election outcomes. It could galvanize conflicting positions among local powers in‌ the Middle East, shaping future engagements. Ultimately, the‍ strategic balance hinges on‍ how all these actors respond to the U.S. elections and the international community’s reaction‍ to ensuing events.

Editor: ⁢Thank you, Dr. Hassan, for your insights. The complexities of the Middle East landscape are​ indeed⁢ a remarkable topic of discussion, especially as we approach the ​elections. We’ll certainly keep our eyes on how these ‌dynamics evolve.
