As tensions between Israel and Iran reach boiling point, experts warn that former U.S. President Donald Trump could greenlight direct military support for Israeli strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities. The conflict, sparked by preemptive Israeli air raids last week, has seen both sides exchange missile barrages and drone attacks—with Tehran even breaching Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. 🚨
Tensions Escalate
Israel claims its strikes aim to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, while Tehran insists its program is peaceful. Iranian officials accuse Israel of using the nuclear debate as a "pretext" to expand regional conflict. Meanwhile, Trump’s recent social media posts—urging Iran’s "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" and hinting at knowledge of Supreme Leader Khamenei’s whereabouts—have raised eyebrows globally. 💬
The Fordow Factor
All eyes are on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, buried 90 meters underground. Experts say only U.S.-owned "bunker-buster" bombs could penetrate it. Zaki Shalom of the Misgav Institute told CGTN: "There’s a good chance the U.S. would strike Fordow." B-2 bombers capable of delivering 14-tonne payloads might tip the scales. 💣
Diplomatic Chess
Analysts suggest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing hard for U.S. involvement. But Wei Liang of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences notes Trump’s balancing act: promoting peacemaker credentials while facing pressure to act. With U.S. jets recently relocated to Europe, the stakes couldn’t be higher. ✈️
As the world holds its breath, one question remains: Will this conflict fizzle out—or ignite a wider war? 🌐⚡
