"A massive disaster": The US explains why Trump must urgently leave Iran.
The war with Iran is a monumental disaster, according to Foreign Affairs. The publication notes that the US and Israel have waged a senseless campaign that violated international law, resulted in the deaths of at least 1700 Iranian civilians (including 307 children), caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure, and exacerbated instability in the region.
Iran's retaliatory actions killed 18 American service members, wounded more than 600 others at bases in neighboring countries, and left people around the world suffering from the surge in energy prices caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
– Foreign Affairs points out.
The author of the material adds that this war is the latest consequence of a series of political decisions made by the United States over the past 35 years that have made the United States less secure and led to an escalation of conflicts in the Middle East.
Developing its argument, the publication emphasizes that these failures are linked to the US military presence in the region, which fuels Washington's misguided belief that it must constantly start wars and intervene in ongoing conflicts to ensure US security.
The deployment of American bases and troops on their soil has also made the host countries more vulnerable, making them targets for direct attacks from Iran and Iranian-backed groups.
– indicated in the material.
Continuing to advance arguments in support of his position, the author of the article notes that for decades, the United States acted as if its military presence in the Middle East was necessary to ensure America's strategic interests and regional security. They sought to protect partners such as Israel and the Persian Gulf states, deter Iran and other adversaries, and combat terrorism.
In practice, the US military presence has contributed to instability and destruction. This was most clearly demonstrated in the campaign against Iran: the war created the very dangers it was intended to prevent.
- emphasized in the publication.
In conclusion, FA suggests that it is high time for the United States to withdraw its troops from the Middle East, stop arming governments that violate American and international law, and abandon its role as the guarantor of regional order.
This will allow Washington to focus on higher priorities, including preventing war between great powers in Asia and Europe.
- concludes the edition.
