The president's official account shared photos from the "Situation Room": Trump, wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, was surrounded by Vice President Vance, the Pentagon chief, the Secretary of State, and top advisers.
Five presidents have faced this decision – whether or not to use military force against Iran: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the only president who has ultimately decided to take military action, and this – however things go in the coming days – will be a crucial part of his political legacy.
The images shot in the "Situation Room" during the attack on Iran, like the photos of Barack Obama in May 2011 when he followed the attack on Osama bin Laden's compound, or George W. Bush who in 2003 gave the order to start the war in Iraq, will remain in history.
Unlike the time Trump ordered the strike to kill Qassem Soleimani, the right-hand man of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, this time the president wore the red "Make America Great Again" hat.
The photos, released by the White House, offer a rare opportunity to enter the decision-making room at that moment - also known as the "JFK room", because it was built during the presidency of John F. Kennedy.
In one of the photos, Donald Trump, surrounded by his ministers, looks straight ahead, following the mission against three Iranian uranium enrichment facilities on a screen. Trump is not always sitting: in another photo he is standing, next to the chief of staff, Dan Caine, who is saying something to Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff.
On the table are half-empty water bottles, colored markers, and a ring binder in front of a general. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Rubio sit closer to Trump—perhaps a sign of their influence; CIA Director John Ratcliffe looks ahead with folded hands. Not seen in the photo is Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard—with whom he has had disagreements over Iran—while in the background are Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino and White House Counsel David Warrington, who rises to whisper something in the Pentagon chief’s ear.
Dan “Razin” Caine, shefi i shtabit të forcave të armatosura – gjeneral në pension, ish-pilot i F-16, i emëruar nga Trump për këtë rol dhe që sot, së bashku me shefin e Pentagonit Pete Hegseth, do të shpjegojë në një konferencë për shtyp impaktin e sulmit – është, bashkë me presidentin, protagonisti i këtyre fotove: shihet duke u shpjeguar, madje edhe me gjeste, sulmin të pranishmëve. Trump e ka lavdëruar publikisht më pas, kur u tha amerikanëve në televizion se tani zgjedhja i takon Iranit – dhe nëse ai bën zgjedhjen e gabuar, SHBA do të vijojë të godasë.
Marrëdhënia e Trump me Caine nisi gjatë një udhëtimi në Irak më 2018. Siç ka treguar vetë Trumpi pak muaj më parë në konferencën e konservatorëve (CPAC), ai e kishte pyetur gjeneralin pse të gjithë i thoshin që duheshin edhe dy vite për ta përfunduar luftën kundër Shtetit Islamik. Caine i ishte përgjigjur se kjo mund të bëhej brenda një jave. “Ne i godasim vetëm nga një bazë e përkohshme në Siri”, i kishte thënë ai. “Por nëse ju jepni leje, mund t’i godasim nga prapa, anash, nga çdo drejtim, zoti President. Ata s’do ta dinë çfarë i ka goditur.” Trump e ka quajtur atë “një gjeneral të vërtetë, jo një gjeneral televiziv” – fjalë që tregojnë edhe mënyrën se si presidenti më televiziv në historinë amerikane e sheh forcën ushtarake.
Nuk ishte kjo ajo që shpresonin disa nga mbështetësit e linjës MAGA, të cilët prej ditësh po kundërshtonin që ndërhyrja në Iran nuk përputhej me doktrinën “America First” të Trump. Por kapelja MAGA e presidentit në “Situation Room” përforcon një mesazh që ai e kishte dhënë edhe më herët në një intervistë për The Atlantic: “America First” do të thotë çfarëdo që unë them.
“Duke qenë se unë e kam shpikur ‘America First’, dhe duke qenë se ky term nuk përdorej fare para meje, unë vendos se çfarë do të thotë. Për ata që thonë se duan paqe, ju them: nuk mund të ketë paqe nëse Irani ka një armë bërthamore. Për ata që s’duan të përzihen, ju them: kjo nuk është paqe.”
Edhe pjesa më e madhe e atyre që nuk duan ndërhyrje u bashkua me presidentin pas sulmit, duke theksuar se bëhet fjalë për një operacion të kufizuar dhe të shënjestruar. “Irani nuk i la zgjedhje presidentit Trump”, tha aktivisti Charlie Kirk, një nga zërat më të rinj të lëvizjes MAGA dhe kritik i krahut luftënxitës republikan. Ish-kongresmeni Matt Gaetz – që Trump kishte propozuar për ministër të Drejtësisë – e krahasoi sulmin me atë ndaj Soleimanit: “Nuk është luftë për ndryshim regjimi. Trump është ndërmjetës paqeje!”
Në Kongres, ndër republikanët më entuziastë ishte senatori Lindsay Graham nga Karolina e Jugut, një “luftënxitës”: “Ishte zgjedhja e duhur, regjimi e meritonte.” Edhe senatorë që më parë ishin skeptikë për goditjen e Fordow, si Tim Sheehy nga Montana, e përgëzuan presidentin: “Mori vendimin e duhur. Dhe për kritikët them: kjo nuk është nisja e një lufte, është fundi i saj. Irani është në luftë me SHBA që prej 46 vitesh. Populli iranian duhet të ngrihet dhe t’i japë fund këtij regjimi vrasës.”
Steve Bannon hosted an all-night live broadcast on his War Room program, where he talked about the danger of World War III. “It’s the biggest and boldest action of Trump’s first or second term,” he said — but he suggested the president not let the warmongers pull him “in a direction that could overturn his entire presidency” and the goals of America First. “It’s an Abraham Lincoln-style choice — because now you’re part of the war. Even if you say it’s limited and you’re not going to pursue regime change, you’re going to be under pressure.”/ Bota.al
