Iran waited 61 hours before he took revenge for American raids on his nuclear program. On Monday evening, Tehran launched a series of medium -range rockets towards the American military base in Qatar. All rockets were intercepted, there were no fatalities or injured.
Contrary to the threats of the Mulł regime, he was limited to symbolic retaliation. US President Donald Trump followed the counterattack along with the National Security Council at the White House Command Center, and then at Truth Social described him as “very weak”.
Trump does not have to be afraid of long -term military involvement, which will avoid internal confrontation with the magician camp.
The US president said that Iranian rockets “did not cause any damage” and added: “They released a pair and hopefully there would be no more hatred.”
On the night of Saturday to Sunday he threatened “much more violence” if Iran decided to retaliate. He seems not going to do it now. Trump does not want to take further steps, “New York Post” said, citing the Pentagon official.
Everything pointed to de -escalation when Iran informed Qatar about the planned retaliation. In the late afternoon on Monday, the government in Dosze closed its airspace and warned the United States – Axios said, citing Israeli government circles. “I would like to thank Iran for warning,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

According to the New York Times, which quotes Qatari officials, Tehran wanted to avoid fatal and injured victims. Iran had to “respond symbolically” and at the same time strive for de -escalation.
This is also evidenced by the character of a retaliatory attack. As the Iranian Security Council informed, “the same number of rockets as the United States” was used. The message is clear: they wanted to avoid escalation. Although Iran sought for balance in the number of rockets, he chose the goal at which the expected destruction is minimal.
The Al-UdeD base is the largest and best protected US military base in the Middle East. Washington has arranged there Patriot and Thaad air defense systems there, which guarantee good protection against oncoming rockets. In addition, equipment and staff have been evacuated in recent days. The satellite photos from Monday can be seen that there are no aircraft there that were there in mid -June.
“Iran is currently the weakest force in the Middle East”
Before the American bombing of nuclear objects from Tehran, sharp threats were fallen. The United States must take into account “irreversible consequences” if they attack Iran – one of them was. The fact that the Mulłów regime did not realize this threat testifies to his current weakness. “Iran is currently the weakest strength in the Middle East and therefore avoids the risk,” pointed out Ian Bremmer, the founder of the Eurasia Group, in an interview with CNN. – They did everything to give President Trump a signal that they wanted to withdraw – added an expert for the Middle East.
After several days of attacks of the Israeli army, the Iranian armed forces were decimated. Jerusalem controls the airspace over the western part of the country and destroyed numerous rocket bases. Tehran has its representatives in the region-Hamas, Hezbollah and Huti terrorist organizations-which were also seriously weakened by Israeli attacks, and the Mulło ally, the president of Syria, Baszar Al-Assad, had to flee to Moscow.
For Donald Trump, this is the best possible result for now. Thanks to the military attack on Iran, he could demonstrate strength and gain credibility in the case of future threats.Ultimately, Iran did not comply with his call for a diplomatic solution to the crisis, which resulted in an attack after the ultimatum expired.
At the same time, Iran seems so weak that he is not willing to take serious retaliation, which for now prevents the escalation of the conflict in the region. If Iran stays with this reaction and does not take other retaliation, such as asymmetrical actions against the USA and their allies, Trump does not have to be afraid of long -term military commitment, which will allow him to avoid internal confrontation with the magician camp. After the attack on Iran, some supported him, but few still objected.
What's more, according to the Israeli public television station KAN, citing Israeli security circles, Jerusalem wants to end the war with Iran until the end of the week. It was found that most of the war goals were achieved. It would be something that Trump could consider his success. The president made it clear that he meant in his post on Truth Social. “Perhaps Iran will now be able to turn to peace and harmony in the region,” he wrote, adding that he would “enthusiastically encouraged Israel to do the same.”
The fate of the Iranian nuclear program remains unclear. So far, it has not yet been confirmed that American attacks have completely destroyed the plant in Ford. It is very likely that as a result of the explosion of bombs destroying the bunkers, the centrifuges were seriously damaged. However, according to the estimates of the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (Maea) Rafael Grossi Iran managed to secure about 400 kg of uranium enriched to 60 percent. Therefore, the decisive importance for future Tehran's nuclear ambitions is whether the country's ability to enrich uranium to 90 percent. It was completely and permanently destroyed.
