US takes off the dress of diplomacy and puts on the gear of war
In a new threat to the future of the Middle East...the United States is taking off the dress of diplomacy and putting on the gear of war
The American news website (Politico) reported yesterday evening that the United States is building a military plan to prevent the possibility of the aggression on the Gaza Strip turning into a large-scale regional war in the Middle East.
The website said, quoting officials in the US administration, one of whom holds a high position, that the United States has been working for some time on plans to confront scenarios related to the Middle East and developments in the war in the sector, and the possibility of participating in it as a regional war, in order to confront the attacks of the Houthis from Yemen, who are firing non-stop on commercial ships in the region. The Red Sea, which is heading to Israel, in addition to confronting expected attacks by what the American administration described as militias supported and backed by Iran..
The website said that behind the scenes, the United States made numerous contacts with Iran to reduce tension and stop attacks on American and Israeli targets, but all indications showed that Iran has a desire to continue fighting in the region, and therefore the United States will be forced to attack a number of targets, and thus the war may expand and spread to areas and continues for another period...
A major dilemma facing the American president is that the current year will witness the presidential election campaign that will be held next November, and popular and public pressure will be greater on Biden, who may lose the presidential battle after his involvement and the role of his administration in the war and aggression against the Gaza Strip.
The United States moving through these statements, even if they are implemented on the ground, means that it has taken off the dress of elegant diplomacy and will put on the equipment and uniform of military war to impose on the Middle East a new war that will bring destruction and instability. This is not surprising at the head of the axis of evil and the main supporter, but rather the strategic planner of the war of annihilation on the Gaza Strip..
The United States, until this moment, refuses to stop Israel’s aggression against the Gaza Strip and provides all justifications for its continuation despite its targeting of civilians, including women and children, which has caused an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. Accordingly, the justifications it presents in order to stop the attacks of the Houthis and a number of movements and parties loyal to Iran are merely Simply declaring war, as was done previously in Afghanistan and Iraq, and this is not unusual for the axis of evil led by the United States with the support of some European countries, and all of this comes for the sake of further support for Israel to prolong its war on the Gaza Strip for as long as possible.
