In a recent statement, Mika Aaltola, a member of the European Parliament and a war expert, analyzed the implications of U.S. military actions against Iran, highlighting that President Donald Trump is aiming for decisive airstrikes to achieve a quick victory over Iran. The U.S. and Israel conducted airstrikes early Saturday morning, targeting Iran's government and its nuclear program, indicating a renewed concern over Iran's perceived threat.

Aaltola pointed out that previous airstrikes last summer were not successful, as Iran managed to shield its nuclear materials from attacks, leading to ongoing futile negotiations between the U.S. and Iran over disarmament of Iran's nuclear capabilities. He emphasized that the recent strikes are part of an allied effort with Israel, reflecting a strategy to neutralize Iran's threat.

On the domestic front, Aaltola described Iran as being in a fight for survival as its citizens have taken to the streets in protest against the Islamist regime. Despite attempts to suppress these protests, the ongoing unrest signifies a critical struggle within Iran, complicating the political situation as external military pressure mounts alongside internal dissatisfaction.
