Trump blocks Israel's attack on Iran: A dangerous power game!

In a explosive report by the "New York Times", it is revealed that Israel had plans for an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in May 2025. The aim of this attack was to delay the Iranian skills to develop nuclear weapons by one year or more. The support of the United States was requested to carry out the attack to protect Israel from Iran's retaliation measures. But US President Donald Trump decided against the military option and instead pleaded for diplomatic conversations with Tehran.

The internal debates about the attack were intense. During a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump informed Israel about his decision that the United States would not support an attack. Important consultants such as the chief of staff of the White House, Susie Wiles, Defense Minister Pete Hegseth and Vice President J.D. Vance expressed serious concerns about the attack. Mike Waltz, the national security advisor, was also skeptical about the success of the Israeli plan without substantial American support. Waltz also spoke out to not only freeze the Iranian nuclear program, but to actively rebuild.

diplomacy instead of military action

Last Saturday indirect discussions between the USA and Iran, which were described as "positive" and "constructive", took place in Oman. A second round of talks is planned for the coming Saturday in Rome. These diplomatic efforts contradict Trump's previous attitude: In his first term, he had unilaterally terminated the nuclear deal with Iran and signaled that he is now relating to dialogue to avoid conflicts.

Sonderstanders Steve Witkoff emphasized that discussions about the Iranian nuclear program were necessary to prevent military escalation. He emphasized that not everything had to be solved militarily and offered to promote conversations and diplomacy. At the same time, Mike Waltz emphatically demands the complete disassembly of the Iranian nuclear program because he sees the possession of nuclear weapons in Iran as unacceptable for the national security of the United States

Iranian nuclear program in focus

Despite the talks, Iran continues to show significant progress in its nuclear program. According to the UN Atomagentur Iaea, Tehran accelerates the enrichment of uranium to almost weapon-compatible purity. While Iran emphasizes that his program only serves peaceful purposes, there are also voices within the country that consider a possible development of nuclear weapons, especially with regard to Israel.

Regardless of the diplomatic developments, the Iranian top guide, Ajatollah Ali Chamenei, has rejected a discussion offered by Trump and expressed his doubts about the American intentions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said that Tehran would soon react to Trump's “threats and possibilities” of Trump, but also emphasized that a dialogue was only possible if Washington changed its printing policy.
