Once again, Donald Trump is dragging humanity into the “dance” of war, the same man who just months ago wanted to be called a peacemaker and desperately sought the Nobel Peace Prize. Indeed, as evident from the latest statements by the American president, he is not particularly interested in Iran’s regime, as long as the new reality in Tehran maintains good relations with Washington. According to a report by Axios, US President Donald Trump is handling the country like one of his companies, disregarding the human lives being lost and the future of the planet itself. The only way to end the war he started with Israel is to satisfy his demands, the report states.
Axios: Trump’s three key conditions for ending the Iran war
- Role in Iran’s next leadership
Trump states he wants to be involved in developments surrounding the succession of Iranian leadership after the supreme leader’s death. He has expressed opposition to the possibility of his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, succeeding him, emphasizing the importance of a different direction for the country.
- “Unconditional surrender” of the regime
Trump has made clear that there will be no agreement with Tehran unless the regime is forced into complete capitulation. This, he states, means the country will no longer have the ability to threaten the US or its allies, and members of the armed forces who abandon the regime will have complete security.
- Post-war reconstruction and stabilization
After the military conflict and leadership change, the US and its allies want to support Iran’s reconstruction and economic development. This framework includes efforts to keep oil and gasoline prices stable, so the conflict doesn’t cause major instability in energy markets and the region overall.
Analysts note that plans for shaping Iran’s “next day” are extremely complex, as the country’s political and military structure – especially the role of the Revolutionary Guards – is deeply embedded in the state and society.
