How Trump dominated Middle East policy in his first five months back in office

Even his worst criticisms must possibly admit that the president Donald Trump Dominated international and national events since returning to the office five months ago.

His “masterful ambiguity” in the third round of the Iran-Israel war is simply brilliant. History will record him as such.

You may have assisted or watched the army’s birthday parade or a “No Kings” rally or perhaps just watching the United States open the United States on Father’s Day, but what will be the note in the history of weekend events?

This President Trump has controlled events Unplugging in the Middle East and did so with extraordinary skills.

Israel’s actions against Iran create strategic opportunities for us in nuclear talks, experts say the experts

The most serious analysts in Israel agree. For example, Amit Segal of Channel 12 of Israel – a kind of rare but highly respected combination of anchor, journalist and analyst in the United States of Bret Bare – Segal and others believe that President Trump gave a green light to Prime Minister Netanyahu strike Iran In this third Iran-Israel Direct combat cycle in the past 14 months.

Iran entered directly at 10/7 from Israel on April 13, 2024, and again on October 1 of the same year by pulling hundreds of missiles and bombs of all types via many delivery mechanisms attempt in the civilian population of Israel. Israeli defense forces (“FDI”), with the help of the United States and other allies of the Jewish state, intercepted these two waves of attacks, and Israel has absorbed certain damage and lifestyle and other wounded. Israel responded with small but very precise counterattacks that damaged Iran’s air defenses and sent a message on Israel’s capacities. President Biden and his team worked to prevent Israel from additional climbing on the occasion of both occasions.

After 10/7, as Willed IsraelIran began a rush towards the armament of its uranium enriched with a nuclear weapon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the order to go to the active planning of strikes last weekend, shortly after President Trump’s swept victory in November and a few days before Hezbollah’s capitulation in Israel in Lebanon of the long war of 10/7 in the same week of Trump’s triumph.

But Netanyahu still needed at least tacit approval from President Trump, whom he received after the 60 -day window expired by Trump that Iranian theocracy has engaged in serious negotiations on the dismantling of his nuclear weapons program.

Iran tried to play the president and it was a Historical proportions error. Now stories are flying over Iran’s desperate attempt to bring the United States to stop the Israel kick the theocratic dictatorship that has reigned over Iran since 1979 under Ayatollah Khomeini and now Ayatollah Khamenei. These two dictators are responsible for all the ruin that Iran has known now and for 46 years. Now, the aging and obviously incompetent fanatic Khamenei has been authorized to survive to see the destruction of his madness. He may not live to see the reversal of the regime, but he could. Because Donald Trump told him what he had to do and he not only rejected him, he made alert to Trump and threatened the United States

Khamenei has spent decades and billions to build “proxy forces” in Hezbollah, Hamas, the Assad diet in Syria, Houthi in Yemen and certain militias in Iraq in a vain attempt to openly intimidate its Iranian nuclear installations.

Khameini is also suspected to try to murder Trump and other US officials after Trump ordered the elimination of Generation of the genus islands. When this brain of the Iranian international terrorist network landed in Iraq on January 3, 2020 for having put on mission to kill more Americans. (The Islamic Republic of Iran is directly responsible for the murder, injuries and the hostage -taking of thousands of Americans since Khomeini reversed the Shah of Iran in 1979.)

In five months, Trump moved the United States to say that Israel “does not attack Rafah” in Gaza, to “go ahead, hit Iran. They refuse to negotiate in good faith”. Netanyahu did not do or asked or requested a second time. And, for the first time on several occasions, Netanyahu asked for the support of the military leaders of Israel for strikes, the FDIs agreed: Rise Up and Strike.

During all this time, Trump maintained a “masterful ambiguity” on his role. It is remarkable and unprecedented.

A name for a long time ago, Sir John Lawrence, should be mentioned here. Lawrence was the British Governor General and Viceroy of India from 1864-1869, and used the term “masterful inactivity” to summarize his policy towards Afghanistan, a policy that has teamed up with the very long and success of Lord Salisbury’s mandate as Prime Minister of Great Britain, who was the senior KJNGDOM UNITED three times Finally in 1902.

Salisbury adopted and used the Lawrence approach over and over again. Trump may not be on the details of the maneuvers of the great powers of the end of the 19th century, but he certainly knows how to play the new “big game” in the 21st century.

Trump offers peace mediation Everywhere and always. He also always tells our enemies not to kill or hurt Americans where they will feel the whole strength of the American army. And he knows, as only very experienced real estate developers do so, when making offers, when to withdraw or condition them – and when to go away.

The last 60 days of “negotiations” between Iranian representatives and the Special Witkoff envoy have been a real window for Iran to avoid the punishment he now absorbs Israel. Trump proposed to send Witkoff again and now the United States has a much more important lever for these discussions if they resume. President Trump allows the weeks of Israel to degrade the nuclear and ballistic missile programs from Iran – and possibly destroy its line of energy rescue if Tehran continues to target Israeli civilians. He didn’t say it publicly, but he warned Khamenei that it could be blowing.

Trump is a Master Master. He mainly sent a message to the “closed border” and spoke of the closure. He now sends a message to the criminal element among the millions of migrants who have crossed the open border during the Biden years to go out or be arrested. He sent a message to the Congress Gop to obtain the “One, Big Beautiful Bill”, HR 1, done and done.

And he sent a message to the American pride of his soldiers with the army’s birthday parade, which is better understood as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of our country which culminates on July 4, 2026.

Trump lives inside the head of his opponents. The absurdity of the “No Kings” theater is only the last example of the way in which the left wing of the Democratic Party dominates it not only, but also lacks a fundamental understanding of the place where the majority of the country is politically. This majority elected Trump both massively and massively supports the police at all levels of the government and condemns political violence, whether from the left or the extreme right. (Trump’s condemnation of the Minnesota killer was fast and complete. As a person who was at least twice the target of the assassins, I did not expect anything less.)

Trump has another 43 months as president. I hope they will be as successful as its first five months.
