Washington’s veto

This Sunday, before the name of the new leader was known, US President Donald Trump launched harsh threats on the succession of the ‘throne of Iran’.

“It won’t last long without my approval.”Trump declared, thus demanding direct involvement from Washington in making the final decision on Khamenei’s replacement.

These statements, made while the Operation Epic Fury maintained its pressure on Iranian strategic infrastructure, they made it clear that for the United States the recognition of the new leader is not an internal matter of the theocracy.

The Republican leader assured that his objective is “not having to go back every 10 years“, describing the Persian country as a “paper tiger” whose defense capabilities have been neutralized.

Israel also issued definitive warnings before the appointment was made official.

Along the same lines, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, declared that both countries already control “almost all of Iran’s airspace.”

The use of the feared bunker buster bombs, high impact bombs, would allow Trump’s alliance with Netanyahu to directly bomb enemy positions.

With this weaponry They will be able to attack key infrastructure for the ayatollah regimes, support ground troops and destroy Iran’s defenses before the army reacts.

However, this is a “relative supremacy”, according to reports the header specialized in defense TWZ.

Iran still hides mobile defense systems in mountainous areas and uses missiles to try to surprise allied aircraft.

For this reason, The United States maintains electronic warfare aircraft in permanent flight.

Protection of neighboring countries

The Prime Minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thanilaunched an urgent message this Sunday asking to ensure the cessation of Iranian attacks against the Gulf countries.

Qatar, which has historically acted as a mediator, now demands that Iran stop its offensives against nations that are not part of this conflict.

The Qatari president has been blunt in pointing out that Iran is trying to “drag its neighbors into a war that is not its own.”
