The situation in the Middle East is rapidly escalating following a series of coordinated airstrikes conducted by US and Israeli forces on targets in Iran. The administration of Donald Trump, supported by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, aims to permanently alter the balance of power in the region. The military operation, targeting the destruction of Iran's nuclear program and security structures, is provoking fierce opposition from Russia and China, while simultaneously paralyzing European diplomacy and causing shocks in global financial markets.

Massive US and Israeli Attacks

Coordinated airstrikes target Iranian nuclear installations and militia infrastructure, aiming to weaken the state's defensive capabilities.

Potential Support for Opposition

The Trump administration is analyzing the option of arming Kurdish and other minority groups to spark an internal uprising against the regime.

Paralysis of World Markets

The specter of a blockade of trade routes in the Persian Gulf is causing drastic increases in energy prices and destabilizing global economic indicators.

The armed conflict with Iran has entered a phase of open war after combined US and Israeli forces launched a massive bombing campaign. Washington's strategy goes beyond mere retaliatory strikes, directly targeting the dismantling of Tehran's apparatus of oppression to enable an internal coup. The Pentagon is currently considering broad support for Kurdish militias and other opposition groups, aiming to destabilize the ayatollahs' government from within. The Israeli Air Force is focused on destroying the infrastructure of the nuclear program, targeting facilities in Natanz and Fordow. However, experts warn that an attempt to forcefully halt nuclear ambitions may backfire, pushing the regime into a desperate last-minute attempt to build a bomb. US-Iranian relations have remained hostile since the 1979 hostage crisis, but the current operation is the first attempt in decades at a direct, kinetic regime change in Tehran. The international reaction to the actions of the Washington-Jerusalem axis is deeply divided. The Russian Federation condemned the attacks, accusing the US of acting under false pretenses and calling for an illegal seizure of power. At the same time, Moscow is showing restraint regarding direct military aid to Tehran, which analysts interpret as an attempt to avoid total war with NATO. China, in turn, has drawn "red lines," warning against violating its energy interests in the region. Europe lacks unity; EU member states are unable to formulate a common position on Donald Trump's actions, deepening the transatlantic crisis. On Capitol Hill, parliamentary resistance is growing – the US Senate is preparing to vote on a resolution that would limit the president's authority to conduct warfare without congressional consent. 11 — on the economic threat scale was reached by the US risk index The economic consequences of the conflict are becoming felt worldwide almost immediately. Oil prices are rising sharply over fears of a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, fueling a new wave of global inflation. Investors are fleeing to safe havens, and prediction markets like Polymarket are recording record bets on the war's duration and the potential fall of the government in Tehran, which commentators describe as macabre opportunism. The specter of crisis is also hitting the world of sports; voices are emerging about Iran boycotting the upcoming World Cup, which would force FIFA to seek a sudden replacement for the tournament. „Iran will be liberated faster than anyone thought possible, and their days of terrorizing the world have come to an end.” — Donald Trump
