When you lift too much dust, you have to put the right glasses and see what happens inside that vortex. It should be the work of us journalists who try to decode for public opinion this immense dust that has risen in the Middle East. It is the dust that arises from the targets hit by the missiles of both sides and is the dust, in the sense of confusion and non-clearness, in terms of geopolitical language.
It is rewriting not only the Middle East but, for some time, the whole world. At least as we Westerners knew him in this long period (of peace for the great part) immediately after the trauma of World War II. Donald Trump wants to be an absolute protagonist of this new international grammar.
With the summit in Alaska this summer he unleashed Putin and started a peace negotiations for the Ukraine issue that in fact leaves Europe at the window. Europe itself, rather than being a part of that West as we have always thought, seen, felt, politically and culturally, has become a no more essential part of a global chessboard in formation.
Relations with China remain those of a definitive conflict for those who will control the world economically in the 21st century. Why then this joint attack with Israel to Iran? Because there are conditions to redefine once and for all the balances of one of the most unstable and complex areas of the planet.
Speaking analytically and without giving judgments of value, the long reaction of Israel to the October 7 bombing hamas to the south, in Gaza, and Hezbollah to the north, in Lebanon. Both terrorist movements but almost institutionalized. Sunnita the first, Shiite the second, but both armed arms of Iran of the Ayatollahs.
Instead of erasing Israel is now Israel, which with the support of America is regulating the accounts in the region. Sunni Arab countries, Saudi Arabia in the head, stand in the window but are ready to participate in a new framework of balances and economic affairs.
Tehran’s atomy certainly was a great spauracchio and may have been a motive, but now it is the change of regime the mission. The Iranian regime resists internal repression and missile responses arriving to Cyprus, but is bombarded 24 hours a day in its neuralgic military snodes.
Trump said that you can go on for a long time, the consequences do not know what they will be, but of course Tehran so he can not resist. The American media say in the last few hours that Russia is helping militarily Iran, but the game there seems destined to a certain end.
The United States and Tel Aviv are masters of the skies and with a hammering of this kind may not need, as they say, boots on the field. That is the ground forces, that is victims and wounded (unfortunately there are already on one side and on the other).
Many are with the Iranian people who have suffered in recent years ferocious repressions, many speak instead of an international law violated. But as we said before the fetishes of the twentieth century are no longer there. And it is not true that now only the law of the strongest, but as always the strongest write history.
