The two forces at work on Biden-Netanyahu phone call

 Σχόλιο Στρατηγού Φράγκου Φ.:

Ο Πρόεδρος των ΗΠΑ δεν επιθυμεί την κλιμάκωση και προσπαθεί να μετριάσει την αντιδραση του Ισραήλ εναντίον του Ιράν, όλα θα κριθούν τις επόμενες ώρες ή ημέρες…

President Biden was reluctant to restrain Israel in Gaza. And has "urged" Israel to minimise harm to civilians in Lebanon. But he has been adamant that Israel must not answer the Iranians with a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The US believes Iran is not about to make a nuclear weapon.

President Biden has said Israel must defend itself – but not by attacking Iranian nuclear sites – or its oil industry.

The US fears getting dragged into a war it doesn’t want. And there are concerns that if Iran can ride out an attack it will go for broke to produce a nuclear warhead for its missiles.

The next phases in this spiralling war depend on the extent of Israel’s retaliation – which may come any day now.
