Edition No163 | 19-06-2025 - Iran and Israel launch more attacks, and sources suggest Trump is weighing the final decision about US involvement. Earlier, Trump said "I may do it, I may not do it." Classic ambiguity and chaotic political theater from Trump, but he has a real dilemma here, and advisors within MAGA are split on the approach. Go the slogan of ‘no more wars’ or pursue an aggressive Middle East foreign policy. According to various sources, Trump approved plans to attack Iran but has not made a final decision on whether to launch strikes. That decision may not rest on the strategic implications or morality of the question, but simply what the chance of success is. Trump may not want to be associated with a failure, or a fiasco. The decision could simply rest on tactical outcomes. The Iranians will not "grovel at the gates of the White House," but are thought to be keen to deescalate without losing face and are also keen for the US to stay out of the action. So far, the US has not asked to use UK bases in Cyprus or Diego Garcia for possible strikes, and Trump may also have been informed that the US need more military assets in the region to prepare for the consequences of strikes. That could take several days to move platforms and assets into the region, giving Trump yet more space for ambiguous hints and to delay taking a decision. Iran's supreme leader warned Trump of "irreparable harm" if the US joins Israel’s campaign to degrade Iran’s military & nuclear capabilities – but would they act on the threat?----------Links: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx23e4jz2g0thttps://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/iran-israel-conflict-newshttps://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-mediate-israel-iran-conflict-us-russia-benjamin-netanyahu/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/19/trump-caution-on-iran-strike-linked-to-doubts-over-bunker-buster-bomb-officials-sayhttps://www.ft.com/content/8e4609c6-ffb9-4f5c-8b25-d730b45324dc----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.
