The media pointed to a change in Trump's rhetoric after the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities

US President Donald Trump, who ran for a second term with a promise to become a peacemaker and put an end to "eternal wars," is demonstrating an "important turning point" in his policy, which creates serious risks of escalation of conflict in the Middle East. This was reported by the British Financial Times on June 22.

"This is a political risk for President [Trump], whose electoral base is divided between hawks and those who believe that the United States should not interfere in foreign conflicts," the article says.

The publication notes that an attack on the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities could lead to Iran's retaliatory actions against the United States, "especially with regard to military bases and ships in the region, as well as the potential disruption of oil supplies from the world's most important energy producing region."

Attack Ceremony: The US attacked Iran

Washington has hit three nuclear facilities in Fordo, Netenza and Isfahan.

The US attack on Iran's three nuclear facilities became known on June 21. US President Donald Trump said that the attack was aimed at three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. According to Trump, the operation was successful. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in turn, said that American strikes could change history.

Later, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi said that the United States had violated the UN Charter and would face long-term consequences. The minister stressed that in accordance with the UN Charter, which allows for a legitimate response in self-defense, Iran reserves all possible options to protect its sovereignty, interests and people.

On the same day, NBC reported that the US presidential administration was preparing for a possible retaliatory strike from Iran, and the next 48 hours were of particular concern. As two representatives of the US Department of Defense and a senior White House official told the TV channel, it is not yet known whether Iran's retaliatory strikes will be directed at foreign or domestic facilities of the United States.
