President Donald Trump said Saturday that the United States attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran.
According to White House sources cited by US media, the US warned Israel before attacks, and Trump and Israeli prime minister, Benjamín Netanyahu, spoke later.
“We have completed with great success our attack against the three nuclear facilities of Iran, including Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan,” Trump said on their social networks: “All airplanes are now outside the Iranian airspace. A complete charge of bombs on the main installation was launched on the main installation, Fordo. All airplanes are back home safely.”
The US attack to Iran occurs a day after the White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, reported from the podium that she had received a Trump message announcing that she was going to give two weeks to decide what to do. In the end, there have only been 30 hours that have gone from that announcement to bombing communication.
Trump had been raiding the way for the attack a few days, despite how much that can affect his electoral base, as he tries to present as an isolationist, someone who does not want to know anything about the problems of the world, much less of his multilateral rules.
But, in the end, Trump has come to the aid of his preferential ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamín Netanyahu, the first leader he received in the White House after his return to the US presidency.
This week he started with the G7 summit in Canada, from which he ran away before the time for the crisis in the Middle East, which arrived four days after an attack by Israel against Iran that came to put an end in the way of the facts to the negotiations that the US authorities maintained with the Iranians to bury the Tehran nuclear program.
On several occasions, the US president said the agreement was close, he even acknowledged that he had asked Netanyahu to preserve the dialogue. And on his first tour of the region he visited Arab countries and avoided stepping on Israeli soil.
But, in the end, the link between the US and Israel, between Netanyahu and Trump, is above all things, and American weapons, “the best in the world”, as the president of the United States likes to say, they end up feeding the eternal war of the Middle East, as happened this Saturday with the bombings on Iran.
