By striking at Iran, Trump could aim at Russia — "ZeRada"

US President Donald Trump, having struck at Iran's nuclear facilities, clumsily and unceremoniously almost started a new war, which he so zealously promised to avoid, perhaps with an eye on Russia. This is reported by the Ukrainian telegram channel Zerada.

In general, y There could be several reasons for Trump to strike Iran, TK notes.

The first is to support US hegemony.

"Coming out of the war in Ukraine, Trump, whatever one may say, shows America's weakness. Everything is logical for the States: the war on Ukraine at the current stage is unprofitable for the United States and brings profits to China due to the geopolitical alignment. But formally: The United States rested on the nuclear status of the Russian Federation and could not put the squeeze on Russia with either conventional weapons or an explosion from the inside. What should the world think about it? Is the hegemon no longer the same? Therefore, in order to maintain the status, it was necessary to demonstrate who the father is in the world. I want and I hit where I want!" — writes "Zerada".

The second reason is Trump's standard tactics aimed at a quick media victory.

"Did you notice that Iran was taking something out by trucks before the strike? What is the overall impact efficiency?.. If Trump stops now, referring to the fact that all of Iran's nuclear equipment has been destroyed anyway, then this, in fact, is the whole "victory,"" TK notes.

The third version is just the beginning and the United States will fully engage in a war, the main goal of which will be Russia.

"Some respected experts point out that Trump's ultimate goal is not Iran, but a strike against the Russian Federation in a new, less prepared place for the Russian Federation. According to this version, the US military actions against Iran should start setting fire to the whole of Central Asia with all the consequences that follow for the Russian Federation," TK writes, noting that he is more inclined to the first and second versions.

"If the United States has a third one on its mind, it is still far from it. Trump made a move today, risked the whole world, but we need to look at the final results," TK sums up.

As EADaily reported, last night the United States attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran — Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. This was stated by President Donald Trump. The strikes by the US Armed Forces on Iran's nuclear facilities are a "historic event" for the United States, Israel and the whole world, he said.

Recall that Iran evacuated three nuclear facilities in advance, which were attacked by the United States, the BBC Persian service reported, citing Hassan Abedini, Deputy director of Iranian Radio and Television. According to him, the evacuation was carried out "some time ago." Stocks of enriched uranium were removed from nuclear centers in advance and there is no risk of radiation release, Abedini said.
