The keys to the last offensive of Israel and the US against Iran: why Trump proclaims the "cease-fire" After twelve days of attacks

Donald Trump announced in the early hours of this Tuesday that Israel and Iran They had reached a “high fire” to end a conflict that exploded on June 13, when Israel launched a military offensive against Iran to which the United States would be added later with bombing against Iranian nuclear facilities.

It was then that Iran responded with a missile attack against a US base located in Qatar, for which he gave warning to Washington and resulted in victims. What seemed like a close end conflict could have resulted in a cessation of hostilities by these two countries.

Trump assures that Israel and Iran came with the desire for peace

Israel and Iran came to me, almost at the same time, and said: ‘Paz’. I knew the moment was now. The world, and the Middle East, are the true winners! Both nations will see a future full of love, peace and prosperity, “Trump announced in his social social network.

The message was not there and the American leader warned the two nations of deviate “from the path of righteousness” would mean “much to lose”in addition to being sure that after the high 12 -hour fire it will be considered that the war between Israel and Iran “will have ended.”

Trump believes that in 24 hours “The world will officially announce the end of the twelve -day war”in a message posted hours after they will attacked American bases in Qatar and Iraq in response to US bombings on the three key facilities in the Iranian nuclear program.

This Iranian counterattack could have been produced so as not to increase the war escalation in the region, since it maintained the warning of attacking US bases if it suffered attacks by the Americans and notified in advance the bombing to said bases. Trump himself thanked the notice and urged “remain in peace.”

Trump was skeptical with the high fire: “No nuclear weapons”

Trump himself was skeptical with the high fire two days ago, when he said that this would not end the conflict and that the goal was to end the use of nuclear weapons. “We do not look for the stop the fire. We look for a total and complete victory. I repeat, they already know what the victory is: no nuclear weapons.”he said in Fox News.

The US administration has always maintained that the agreement on nuclear weapons in Iran must include a Commitment to uranium enrichmentfundamental for the development of this armament. Trump also said that the United States “is the only one” capable of dismantling the Uranium enrichment center of Fordo, in the center-west of Iran. “But that does not mean that I will do it,” he said in statements to the press.

More than 450 dead in the conflict

This new confrontation between Israel and Iran began on June 13, when the Israeli government launched a military offensive against Iran designed for end its military infrastructure and uranium enrichment.

Since then, Iran and Israel have exchanged regularly Drones and missile attacks that have left around 450 people dead in Iran and 24 more in Israel.
