Former US President Donald Trump asserted that Iran will never possess nuclear weapons and that the Middle East is now more secure, coinciding with a request from the White House to Congress for $80 billion to cover costs associated with the ongoing conflict. This funding request arrives as the situation in the Middle East remains volatile. Simultaneously, it has been revealed that 500 US aircraft have departed from bases in Italy to support “Operation Epic Fury,” according to NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. The Italian Ministry of Defence clarified that these flights are limited to technical and logistical support, consistent with existing agreements. The increased US military activity underscores the growing American involvement in the region. The financial aid package and military support signal a continued commitment to Israel amid heightened regional tensions and concerns over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
