After more observation, here’s my take:
Israel wanted to do this strike for months, but Trump told Israel to stand down, to give Iran a chance for negotiations to end this diplomatically.
Iran refused to capitulate, so Trump stepped out of the way.
To be fair, Trump repeatedly warned Iran that this would happen if they did not come to the negotiating table and get rid of their nuclear program. That’s not to say I agree with the Israeli strikes, but Iran were given more than enough warning and refused.
Now that Iran are in a significantly weakened position, Trump is trying to step back into negotiations and offer Iran an economic deal to resolve this conflict, and give the Iranians an off-ramp to end this conflict before it gets worse for them.
Do I agree with how all this went down? Not really. I’d prefer to never have to result to air strikes, but perhaps the threat of not striking was greater, maybe there is intelligence that we don’t know about, maybe the situation is far more dire than we the public understand, maybe Iran truly did intend to use nuclear weapons, etc., etc.
On the bright side, the overall posture from Trump and his administration, is that they are not interested in engaging in the conflict directly, and I don’t see a scenario where US troops are involved.
Tensions are high, but I don’t think this is going to lead to WW3 or another drawn out US war in the Middle East.
