US seeks to downplay the crisis with its lack of official response

reaction of usa Israel’s bombing of Isfahan is strange. Because there has been no such reaction. Neither the White House nor the State Department issued any official statement. As a campaigner, Biden didn’t even touch on the issue at a meeting with unions at the same Washington Hilton hotel where Ronald Reagan was nearly assassinated in 1981. White House spokesperson for national security issues, John Kirbycanceled an ‘on the record’ meeting with the Foreign Correspondents Association in Washington ‘due to the recent events of last night’, which “have forced him to change his schedule.”

The biggest thing was some words of the State Secretary, Tony BlinkenAt the G-7 summit in Italy he limited himself to emphasizing – this time giving it official seal – the idea that the US had not participated in the attack and that the attacks from Tehran and Tel Aviv would be justified. Urged to stop the escalation and counter-attacks. However, the US is not worried that Iran will respond to the bombings.

The goal seems to be to get the crisis forgotten as quickly as possible and no one to think about it again, lest the next attacks be less about theater and more about actual war. The Biden administration was already aware of the attack. Israel warned it on Thursday about bombing Iran Will happen in the next 24 or 48 hoursAccording to American media. According to NBC television, Tel Aviv also assured Washington that the bombing would not target Iran’s nuclear facilities. Isfahan is near key facilities of Iran’s nuclear program. Washington also confirmed that its armed forces did not take part in the attack.

American President Late Joe Biden Had asked the Israeli Prime Minister, benjamin netayahu, not to attack Iran. Political website Axios reported this week that Biden told Netanyahu to “accept your victory.” The “victory” Bien was referring to was the shooting down of most of the approximately 320 missiles and drones launched by Iran against Israel on the night of Saturday into Sunday. A large part of these mills – more than a third of the total mills – were destroyed by the armed forces of the US, France, the United Kingdom and Jordan. The rest were shot down by Israel’s air defense, amounting to between 520 and 520. 1,225 million eurosAccording to the Jewish state’s analysts’ own estimates.

However, Israel decided to attack. According to American media, the initial date of the attack was supposed to be Monday, but, under pressure from Washington, Netanyahu, literally at the last moment, decided to wait. Similarly, the US forced Netanyahu to reduce the dimensions of military action. It appears that Washington was satisfied with the bombing It was nothing less than symbolic, just like the one Iran launched against Israel on Saturday night. In fact, a day earlier, Tehran had warned air traffic authorities of Saudi Arabia and other countries that a large number of unregistered and unidentified aircraft would fly in the region in the next days. This was a subtle way of saying that military equipment was about to fly out of Iran.

Israel carried out the attack despite American opposition, highlighting Tel Aviv’s incredible influence over Washington. The United States gives military aid to Israel equivalent to approximately four times the aid given by the USSR to Cuba during the Cold War (adjusting prices for inflation). According to Bloomberg news agency, the US also pays one-third for the Gaza war. Even weapons systems that are entirely Israeli and over which Tel Aviv has full control are paid for by the American taxpayer. This is the case of the ‘Iron Dome’ anti-missile system (iron Dome), which Tel Aviv has repeatedly refused to hand over to Ukraine – despite the fact that that country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish – and which was among the major beneficiaries of the $14 billion aid package (more than 13,000 One will be million euros for Israel) which the US government is going to approve this Saturday.

The US has air defense systems in all the countries where Israel has had to fly to attack Iran, except Syria – aligned with Russia – and Saudi Arabia, as well as in the Persian Gulf. The air defense systems of these countries have also had to detect Israeli aircraft.

For Joe Biden’s government, The attack is another failure in a string of disasters in the Middle East Since the Hamas terrorist group attacked Israel on October 7. Washington has failed in an attempt to persuade Israel to carry out targeted strikes against terrorist targets in Gaza rather than carrying out a conventional offensive, which has devastated much of the territory.

Nor has it managed to convince Tel Aviv to allow large amounts of humanitarian aid into the enclave, which is on the brink of humanitarian disaster. Washington has informed Iran through diplomatic channels that it did not participate in any way in the Israeli bombing of the Iranian Consulate in Damascus on April 1 – neither by providing information nor by providing any kind of support, including to the Iranians. Eight members of the Revolutionary Guard were involved. And which has given rise to this wave of attacks and counter-attacks.

In the White House and the Democratic Party, there are those who believe that Benjamin Netanyahu – whose poor personal relationship with the US President is as notorious as his closeness to ‘Trumpism’ and especially his friendship with the former President’s son-in-law – Law, jared kushner – Escalating the conflict to drag America into war. However, on the Republican Party side, there is no rift in support for Israel, summarized in the phrase of former President Donald Trump, who urged Tel Aviv to “finish the job” in Gaza. Kushner has criticized the fact that beach tourism infrastructure has not been built in Gaza under the Hamas administration, which was an apparent reference to Palestinian economic failure, although there are also those who saw it as an allusion to the Israeli occupation. Taken as a secret proposal. coast of the region and expelling the Palestinians from it.
