America’s Strategic Choice: Peace Over War with IranTrump must deter US combat involvement and lead a multilateral effort to curtail Iran’s nuclear ambitions within months.
- Israel’s strikes severely damaged Iran’s nuclear and military assets but lack the capacity to fully destroy the Fordow facility alone.
- Direct US participation would likely provoke Iranian attacks on American civilians, escalating the conflict dangerously.
- A diplomatic approach is needed that preserves Israeli gains while enabling Iran to negotiate without losing face.
- Sustained multilateral action and a UN-backed ceasefire based on verifiable nuclear restrictions are essential to ending the conflict.
Trump must work with Netanyahu to define an end goal for the war that can be achieved quickly: a significant and specific measure of destruction of Iran’s existing nuclear facilities and stockpile.— This statement emphasizes the necessity for Trump to collaborate with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to set a clear and achievable objective in the war against Iran.
