Even his worst critics will eventually have to admit that president Donald Trump Has dominated international and national events since he returned to the office five months ago.
His “masterful ambiguity” in the third round of the war in Iran-Israel is simply brilliant. History will take it as such.
Maybe you have attended or viewed the birthday parade of the army or a “no kings” rally or have you opened the US on Father’s Day, but what will the history of the events of the weekend notice?
Who has President Trump checked the events unfold in the middle and has done this with extraordinary skills.
The most serious analysts in Israel agree. Amit Segal of the Israeli Channel 12 – A kind of rare but highly respected combination of anchor, reporter and analyst in the lines in the US of Bret Baier —Segal and others believe that President Trump gave a green light to Prime Minister Netanyahu to Lettuce In this third round of direct Iran-Israel fights in the past 14 months.
Iran came on April 13, 2024 in the 10/7 long war of Israel and again on October 1 of that year by hundreds of missiles and bombs of all species to be fired through many attempted delivery mechanisms at the civil population of Israel. The Israeli Defense Groups (“IDF”), with the help of the United States and other allies of the Jewish state, intercepted two waves of attacks, and Israel absorbed some damage and loss of life and others injured. Israel reacted with small but very precise counterattacks that damaged Iran’s air weather and sent a message about the possibilities of Israel. President Biden and his team worked to limit Israel in both occasions of extra escalation.
After 10/7, when Israel staggered, Iran began to arm an enriched uranium in a nuclear weapon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu It gave the order to continue to the active planning of the strikes of the last weekend, shortly after President Trump’s radical victory in November and days before the capitulation of Hezbollah to Israel in the Lebanon Theater of the 10/7 long war in the same week of Trump’s triumph.
But Netanyahu still needed at least a tacit approval from President Trump, whom he received after the expiry of the 60-day window that Trump had given the Iranian theocracy to negotiate serious negotiations about dismantling his nuclear weapon program.
Iran tried to play the president and that was a mistake of historical proportions. Now there are stories about Iran’s desperate attempt to get the US to stop the pumming of Israel from the Theocratic dictatorship that has been ruling Iran since 1979 under the first Ayatollah Khomeini and now Ayatollah Khamenei. Those two dictators are responsible for the entire ruin that Iran experiences now and the past 46 years. Now the aging and clearly incompetent fanatic khamenei is allowed to survive to see the destruction of his madness. He may not live to see the overthrow of the regime, but he could. Because Donald Trump told him what he had to do and he did not only reject it, he repeatedly spotted Trump and threatened the US
Khamenei spent decades and billions with the construction of “Proxy troops” in Hezbollah, Hamas, the Assad regime of Syria, the Houthis in Yemen and some militias in Iraq in a vain attempt to intimidate Israel and thus prevent the nuclear facilities of Iran from being open.
Khameini is also suspected of killing Trump and other American officials after Trump elimination of General Qasem Soleimani When this brain of the international terror network of Iran on January 3, 2020 in Iraq landed on a mission to kill more Americans. (The Islamic Republic of Iran is immediately responsible for the killing, injury and hostage of thousands of Americans since Khomeini ignored Iran in 1979)
In five months, Trump moved the United States to tell Israel “not to attack Rafah” in Gaza, “to continue, hit Iran. They refuse to negotiate in good faith.” Netanyahu not or needed or asked a second time. And for the first time in the many times, Netanyahu asked for the support of Israel’s military leadership for the strikes, the IDF agreed: getting up and strike.
All the while, Trump has maintained a “masterful ambiguity” about his role. It is remarkable and unprecedented.
A name from long ago, Sir John Lawrence, must be mentioned here. Lawrence was the British Governor General and Viceroy of India from 1864-1869 and used the term “masterful inactivity” to summarize his policy with regard to Afghanistan, a policy that was associated with the very long and successful term of office of Lord Salisbury, who, who was the prime minister of the Great Bury, who, who was the prime minister of the Great Brittar, who, who was the prime minister of the Great Brittar, who, who was the prime minister of the Great Britar, who, who was the prime minister of the Great Brittar, who, who was the prime minister of the Great Britton, who, who was the prime minister of the Great Britton, who, who was the prime minister of the Great Britton, who, in the Namebury. Time in the United Klinie was attracted, finally in 1902.
Salisbury has always adopted and used the Lawrence approach. Trump may not be on the details of the maneuver of the great forces from the late 19th century, but he knows for sure how to play the new “great game” in the 21st century.
Trump offers to mediate peace everywhere and always. He also always tells our enemies not to kill or injure Americans, otherwise they will feel the full power of the American army. And he knows, as only very experienced real estate developers do, when they have to make offers, when they have to withdraw or condition – and when he has to walk away.
The last 60 days of “negotiations” between Iranian representatives and special envoy Witkoff have been a real window for Iran to avoid the punishment it now absorbs from Israel. Trump has offered to re -send Witkoff and now the US has much greater leverage for those conversations when they resume. President Trump allows Israel to break down Iran’s nuclear and ballistic rocket programs – and possibly to destroy his energy exportlifeline if Tehran continues to focus on Israeli citizens. He did not say it publicly, but he warned Khamenei that it could come.

Trump is a master -user. He actually sent the “border closed” and spoke to it. He is now a messages from the criminal element among the millions of migrants who have crossed the open border in the Biden years to get out or be arrested. He sent the Gop Congress a message to get the “One, Big Beautiful Bill”, HR 1, done and done.
And he sent the American pride in his army with the army’s birthday parade, which is best understood as part of the 250th birthday of our country that culminates on July 4, 2026.

Trump lives in the heads of his opponents. The absurdity of the “No Kings” theater is just the newest example of how the left wing of the Democratic Party not only dominates it, but also misses a fundamental concept of where the majority of the country is politics. This majority chose Trump overwhelming and overwhelming both law enforcement at every level of the government and condemns political violence, whether it is now from the left or far right. (Trump’s conviction of the murderer of Minnesota was fast and complete. If someone who himself has been the target of killers at least twice, I expected nothing less.)
Trump has 43 months left as president. I hope they are just as successful as his first five months ago.
