Trump wants Israel to hit Iran hard - journalist
Trump plans to renew "maximum pressure" on Iran to force it to abandon its nuclear ambitions and stop funding groups the US considers terrorist.
Newly elected US President Donald Trump wants Israel to deliver a crushing blow to Iran. At the same time, he would like the war in the Middle East to end before his inauguration, which is scheduled for 20 January 2025. This was said by Tzvi Zilber, editor-in-chief of Best Radio Israel, in a commentary to the YouTube channel RBC-Ukraine.
According to him, Trump does not like Iran, especially after the fact that the authorities of this Muslim country have already hired mercenaries to assassinate Trump several times.
Trump is a man who does not forgive such things," Zilber said.
At the same time, as the journalist pointed out, Trump is not against strikes on the country's nuclear facilities and places of oil refining and fuel storage.
At the same time, Trump would like Israel to deal with Iran soon, even before he takes office as president. In this case, Zilber believes, Trump will be able to "show himself in all his glory" in ending the conflict in the Middle East.
According to The Wall Street Journal. Donald Trump is preparing a strategy to increase pressure on Iran, which includes a sharp tightening of sanctions and restrictions on oil sales. In this way, Trump intends to influence the country's nuclear programme and Iran's participation in supporting international, as the US believes, terrorist groups. Also, Trump's desire to "deal" with Iran is dictated by Tehran's attempts to assassinate Trump.
