In the United States, they see Donald Trump's personal defeat in Spain's victory at the World Cup, and relations between Washington and Madrid "remain at the very bottom," American political scientist Malek Dudakov notes.
"The World Cup final was perceived in the United States as Trump's personal defeat. Argentina, led by the ally of the American president Javier Miley, lost. The Spaniards won, whom Trump criticized and blasted for nothing," he writes in your telegram channel.
He recalls that not so long ago the White House promised to exclude Spain from NATO or completely stop trade with it. However, none of this has happened, but relations between the two countries remain at the very bottom, he points out. Moreover, other Europeans are now trying to follow the example of Spain and are increasingly distancing themselves from Trump's actions in the Middle East, not wanting to support them.
"Today will be the official arrival of Andy Burnham as Prime Minister of Britain. There have already been rumors in advance that he may restrict the Pentagon's right to use British bases to launch attacks on Iran. In this case, Burnham will join Sanchez in Spain and George Meloni in Italy, who also closed the airspace for the US Air Force," Dudakov adds.
In this case, it will become even more difficult to continue the war with Iran, the Americanist emphasizes. Airfields in Britain and the Chagos base in the Indian Ocean are actively involved in the operation against Iran. In the Middle East itself, American airfields are steadily being taken out by Iranian missiles and drones.
"Some of the Trump team apparatchiks like Marco Rubio started talking about negotiations again. They see the mood of the electorate and record a drop in their ratings against the background of a new round of the fuel crisis. The White House's room for maneuver is narrowing every day — after all, the elections are already on the nose. Iran understands all this very well, so it uses maximum pressure tactics, expecting that Trump will blink first again and give up," the expert sums up.
