Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been desperately trying to pull US President Donald Trump on the battlefield since the launch of Iran. At the same time, he is trying to influence US public opinion so that Washington is directly involved in the Iran war.
In an interview to Fox News on Sunday, Netanyahu threw a question to US citizens. “What do you want, do these people get nuclear weapons and the arrangements for throwing it to the United States,” he said.
The next day, he told ABC News, “Today is Tel Aviv, tomorrow New York.”
He claims Iran is building a remote missile that will one day reach the US territory.
According to The New York Times sources, Netanyahu Trump sought the US 'Bunker Baster' bomb at a meeting at the White House in April this year. With these it is possible to destroy Iran's nuclear center, Fordo. However, Trump did not respond to that request.
Trump -led Republican camp has always taken a stand against the engagement of foreign war. Among his close palaces, influential people like Vice President JD Vans, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard and media personality Steve Banon and Tucker Carlson are obviously anti -war.
Talking to reporters on Wednesday, Trump said, “Maybe I will, may not,” the United States will launch a direct airstrike in Iran. The next day, he said the final decision would be held within the next two weeks.
London's Chartham House Think Tank Middle East analyst Yosie Meckelberg said Netanyahu was strategically using the weakness of Trump's self -defense.
He said Trump might be looking for something that could be claimed. Netanyahu understands that and is taking that opportunity.
The analyst believes that Netanyahu launched an attack on Trump last Friday after receiving the 'yellow signal' from Trump to invade Iran.
However, Eliot A. Cohen, a former White House adviser and international relations expert at the University of John Hopkins, believes that the influence of Netanyahu should not be seen additional.
He said it was not Netanyahu's lobbying, but a view of Trump's own Iran. The memory of Iranian murder against him in 2021, and the initial success of the Israeli campaign is affecting him.
He also said that Netanyahu was just talking about bombing in Fordo, nobody was talking about going to war. Most Americans know – nuclear -powered Iran is a threat to the United States.
According to a survey by Yugov for the latest The Economist, only 5 percent of US citizens want the United States to participate in the Iran-Israel war military.
Although the largest part of the survey was seen as a 'enemy' of 5 percent, 5 percent of the Democrats, 5 percent of the individuals and 5 percent of the Republicans opposed the war.
Former Trump's strategist Steve Bannon says in his War Room Podcast that Netanyahu is lecturing America and has begun a war that he cannot finish himself.
He warned us, “Do not claim to end the war.”
