The Reason Trump Hasn’t Attacked Iran Yet Will Blow Your Mind
Is Donald Trump delaying his action in Iran so he can go to the Winter Olympics?
This week, the so-called peacemaker president assembled the the largest quantity of air power in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, but would not yet endorse military action against Iran.
One of the factors influencing the president’s decision is the holding of the Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina, sources familiar with the matter said. The Washington Post THURSDAY.
There was growing speculation that Trump plans to make a surprise appearance in the men’s hockey final on Sunday, if the American team, favored to win gold, advances to the match. Trump too announcement last week, a presidential delegation led by Education Secretary Linda McMahon would attend the closing ceremony in Milan on Sunday.
The decision to launch a military strike against Iran could potentially jeopardize the travel plans of Trump and his officials. (Of course, this could also endanger a lot more things, but that doesn’t seem to be Trump’s main concern here.)
Speaking Thursday at the inaugural meeting of his so-called Peace Council in Washington, Trump offered Iran has 10 days to reach a diplomatic solution – or risk military action. This would give him just enough time to visit Milan, probably to be able to get booed loudly just like Vice President JD Vance was during the opening ceremony.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military has deployed 13 warships and a large fleet of aircraft to the Middle East, along with a second aircraft carrier en route to the region.
