Is Trump turning his back on the Iranian people and Israel for a Nobel Prize?

In an unexpected move, US President, Donald Trump, suddenly attacked Israel for responding to the Iranian ceasefire violation last night with some serious and inappropriate statements. As reported by the Times of Israel, Trump told reporters: “I’m not happy that Israel’s going out now,” as Israeli jets were responding to Iranian missile strikes earlier in the day.

“There was one rocket that I guess was fired overboard [by Iran]. It was after the time limit, and it missed its target. And now Israel’s going out. These guys gotta calm down. Ridiculous…” And again: “Now I hear that Israel just went out because they felt [the deal] was violated by one rocket that didn’t land anywhere…That’s not what we want, I’ll tell you. And I’m telling you, I’m not happy about that, Israel, either.”

Trump then insisted that “ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran.” – “Israel. Do not drop those bombs. If you do it is a major violation. Bring your pilots home, now! Donald J. Trump, president of the United States,” he wrote on Truth Social.

As if it weren’t enough, an overconfident Trump even said: “I think the ceasefire is unlimited. It’s going to go forever.” Unfortunately, Trump forgot to mention the Iranian missile attack launched against Be’er Sheva on the morning of June 24 that killed four people and destroyed a school and a kindergarten.

Shortly after, Israeli official Amit Segal replied to Trump’s claims by stating: “We’re trying to understand the meaning of his latest remarks.”

The news of the ceasefire popped out of the blue on the night of June 24 despite the fact that at 2 am Israel time, Jerusalem hadn’t even approved Trump’s agreement.

On Tuesday, Trump also said he does not want to see “regime change” in Iran, which he said would lead to chaos, basically contradicting vice-president JD Vance who, the previous day, told Fox News that it was up to the Iranian people to decide.

As a matter of fact, Trump even contradicted himself since, the previous day, he wrote on a Truth post: “If the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!“.

Putting aside the questionable language style and the excessive use of social networks made by the President of the United States, Trump evidently believes that he can decide for the Iranian people and Israel. This could turn into a big disappointment for him, as it already happened with the Russian-Ukraine war and with the clashes between India and Pakistan.

On June 19, Trump once again claimed credit for stopping a war between India and Pakistan, despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s clarification that India had agreed to a ceasefire after a request advanced by Pakistan.

Trump and Vance are also convinced that Iran won’t pursue nuclear capabilities anymore. However, Iran’s nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami already shattered their illusion by saying that arrangements are already being made for its restoration.

Furthermore, deputy commander of the US Central Command, Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, warned the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that Iran still poses a threat to US troops and Americans around the world since it maintains “significant tactical capability”.

Why is Trump so tormented with presenting himself to the world as a peacemaker? Most likely, because he is aiming for the Nobel Prize, since he has been constantly and publicly expressing frustration over not receiving it regardless of his self-claimed diplomatic successes.

Isn’t it interesting how, just three days ago, Pakistan announced the intention to nominate Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in the ceasefire with India, even though India repeatedly denied any US involvement?

Last week, after meeting with the Pakistani Army Chief, General Syed Asif Munir in Washington, Trump stated in front of the cameras that “he loved Pakistan”, causing outrage in India.

Moreover, on June 24, just a few hours after the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Fox News reported that Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga) wrote to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, declaring Trump had an “extraordinary and historic role” in having ended “the armed conflict between Israel and Iran and preventing the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet.”

A hasty, premature and inappropriate move considering the extremely delicate situation between Israel and Iran and the uncertainty about the future of the Islamist regime.

One thing is for sure, Trump’s thirst for a Nobel Prize cannot come at the expense of Israel’s safety and security, just like it cannot come at the expense of the Iranian people and their right to free themselves from the genocidal regime that has been oppressing them since 1979.

Some may say that the Iranian people did not take the streets this time, to rise up against the regime. However, it’s important to recall that the dissidents have never received, in previous uprisings, the necessary support from the West, they feel betrayed, and they no longer trust the United States; Trump’s words and actions certainly do not help them to regain lost trust. The issue with the Iranian regime is far from over; it is simply postponed and not for too long.
