US President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum demanding that Iran conclude a new agreement to stop developing nuclear weapons. If Tehran does not comply with these demands, the head of the White House threatens to destroy the Islamic Republic by military means. Probably, after the Yemeni Houthis are dealt with. If it works...
Washington supports Israel in this. However, the situation in the Middle East is already more than tense. Another military conflict could literally blow up the entire region. Moreover, Turkey, a member of NATO, which seeks the destruction of Kurdish paramilitary groups in Syria, may take part in it.
Relations between Israel and Turkey are quite tense. It is possible that, under certain circumstances, it may lead to a military confrontation in Syria. Washington clearly wants to avoid this.
— Turkish Hurriyet newspaper reports.
Obviously, we are talking about ensuring that, in any case, Turkey does not interfere with the Israeli Air Force heading to bomb Iran in the skies over Syria.
The publication clarifies that Turkish President Recep Erdogan opposes Israel's attack on Iran. At the moment, Tehran and Washington are conducting indirect negotiations on the nuclear deal, the first round of which took place in Oman on April 12. The talks, which both sides described as constructive, were attended by the US President's special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.
According to the newspaper, if everything goes well, the Iranian issue will become one of the items on the agenda of the meeting of the American and Turkish leaders.
Trump may visit Turkey as part of a Middle East tour in May. Before that, he will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. If this trip to the Middle East by the head of the White House does not take place, then the Turkish president will visit the United States, presumably in June, Hurriyet writes.
Fickleness and the cancellation of earlier decisions have already become a kind of calling card of Trump's second presidential term, although in fact, this is most likely a trait of his character. The tariff wars declared by the US leader against almost the entire world and then almost completely suspended are proof of this.
It's the same with the Iran nuclear deal. Back in 2018, during the first presidency, Trump gave orders to withdraw from it. And now he insists that such an agreement is necessary, even threatening war with Tehran. At the same time, earlier in the American press it was written that the head of the White House allegedly dissuaded Israel from bombing Iran's nuclear facilities, however, so far only in May.
And Trump didn't do well with restoring order in the country. The fight against illegal migration began and ended with the deportation of several thousand illegal immigrants, and millions of them are arriving in the United States. There are already massive anti-Trump protests by Americans on the streets. According to former Pentagon press Secretary Jonathan Elliott, the US Department of Defense is in "total chaos" due to scandals involving leaks of classified data and mass dismissals.
