First steps toward the Scale and paralysis of the Trump Administration

« Mossad agents » and « war-at » want to push the United States in a war with Iran. There are statements made not by the Tehran press, but by officials from the Trump administration and some of the most important press allies of the Trump administration.

Two of the close counselors of the Pentagon Secretary were dismissed after publicly adopted positions against a conflict with Iran. One of these councilors is Dan Caldwell, a former military man, as well as the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth. Caldwell was interviewed by Tucker Carlson And he said that US wars in Iraq and Syria were « criminal ». The official reason for the dismissal of Caldwell was his involvement in the leaks of information on the US in Yemen, but Tucker Carlson claims that the dismissal was caused by the counselor’s position against a war with Iran.

Clayton Morris, a journalist who worked for Fox News, like Tucker Carlson, brought to the attention that, while the advisers of the Pentagon chief who oppose a war with Iran are dismissed, at the White House they work with a double citizenship, former official of the Israeli army, nominated for Iran and Israel. This is Merav Ceren, born in Haifa and a former employee of the Israeli Defense Ministry. Behind the appointment of Ceren in the National Security Council can be Mike Walz, Donald Trump’s Security counselor, known for his neoconservative visions.

The non -conservative camp within the Trump administration is led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, by Security adviser Mike Walz and General Keith Kellogg, passed on the dead line (although he is sent especially for Ukraine of President Trump). On the other hand, an isolationist vision is promoted by President Trump’s office, Susie Wiles, the head of the US Information Community, Tulsi Gabbard, by the President for the Middle East, the real estate magnate Steve Witkoff (who also be the main negotiator with Russia).

Steve Witkoff recently suggested that Washington could allow Iran to continue the uranium enrichment program, but only until the threshold of obtaining civil nuclear fuel. On the other hand, the pro-Israeli voices claimed that Iran’s nuclear and ballistic programs should be eliminated. The Secretary of State Rubio said that the US could sign a new nuclear agreement with Iran, to maintain the Civil Nuclear Program of Tehran, but the condition is the cessation of the enrichment of the uranium and the import of nuclear fuel.

The teams of negotiators in Iran and the US met for the third round of discussions in Oman, at the end of last week. President Trump said the negotiations are advancing and heading for an agreement. « We got something without starting to throw bombs, » Trump said.

Regarding negotiations to cease the war in Ukraine, the situation is more complicated. In this file, although it is always present on the front page of newspapers, Special Submit Steve Witkoff is in inferiority in Washington. The guiding lines of a possible peace plan for Ukraine presented by the US Administration are largely out of 2024 by General Kellogg, when he believed that Russia can be kneeling through sanctions and that the Russian army is on the verge of collapse, with about one million victims in Ukraine. The US Peace Plan (largely the Kellogg Plan) proposes a frost of the conflict on the current line of the front, Russia to « exercise control » (without any recognition from the US) over the territory occupied from the four annexed Ukrainian regions; The Zaporoje nuclear power plant would be neutral and managed by the US; About the status of Herson regional capitals and Zaporoje (formally attached by Russia) the plan says nothing. The western part of Ukraine (west of the Dnieper) would be divided into areas of responsibility between European allies, which would monitor the cessation of fire with troops on the ground. The plan stipulates that Ukraine will not adhere to NATO, but does not respond to two other essential conditions of Russia – the « denazification » of Ukraine (changing the regime with one close to Moscow) and demilitarizing Ukraine. The latter condition seems unacceptable in Washington, at least in the reflection circles of former officials from the first Trump administration, but also members of the current administration (such as Elbridge Colby, Undersecretary for Pentagon’s political business), who claim that Eastern Europe must be a US support point, in the case of a military conflict with China.

Eliminating American sanctions and Washington’s recognition of Crimea Annexation are the only elements ticked on the list of Witkoff, established after three rounds with President Vladimir Putin. Witkoff will take a new visit to Moscow this week, to try to get the Kremlin’s acceptance for the slightly sweetened « Kellogg Plan ». Russia is unlikely to accept this plan. Neither President Zelenski (who refused to recognize Ukraine’s annexation by Russia) nor to the European allies.

In this case, the fight between the two camps in Washington will go further – this time not for the cessation of the war, but to continue the involvement of the United States in the war that will continue. The non -conservative camp could insist, along with allies in Europe, that the American help for Ukraine is necessary (even at a lower level), in order not to decredibility the idea of ​​the « peace » of the Trump administration. In this way, the peace negotiations on Ukraine will become the basis of a « narrative » in favor of continuing the war.
