Vytautas Magnus University Professor Egdūnas Račius on the Israel-Iran conflict

Vytautas Magnus University prof. Egdūnas Račius.

What is happening, professor? Why now and what is it seeking here? What do Netanyahu seek these attacks?

E. Rači: Evaluations can be very diverse and the extreme assessment itself would be that World War II has just begun, but maybe let’s not rush with this evaluation and say that this is still a regional conflict.

And the question of why now,I would be most inclined to answer in two prism. One is associated with the domestic policy of Israel. I would have broaden that domestic policy a bit to Palestine, although it is understood that Palestine is already in a sense of foreign policy, but in the Gaza Strip, a very prolonged military operation, many things that are accused of Netanyahu, his office in Israel itself, internal problems.

Another thing is that the United States has, in my opinion, has written just an open check and can be entered by any Israeli government. This is simply a unique situation where the vision of the Prime Minister of Israel and the US President,the fruit of the creativity and everything else coincides almost perfectly.

And I would say it is a tandem that we don’t remember yet. In such a way that internal pressure and the ability to take advantage of the force that was otherwise controlled from the White house such as the stallion that was held by the leader. Now the leader says, “We are riding faster.”

Although America officially claims that she is not involved in these programs,she recently told her diplomats to leave the country,a clear sign that events were known in advance,not even denying it,but he publicly demonstrates the peaceful position – negotiating with Iran and the sixth round of negotiations. do you think all Netanyahu politics is acceptable to him, even if it costs a lot?

E. Rači: I think we are trying again and now it would look very conscious to climb the same rake – to believe what the current US governance says. And all other US administrations,they did not necessarily recognize what they did,but the current president when he says he is a peacekeeper,let’s just take a look at the Ukrainian front and it seems to me that all illusions should change.

He is the one who wants fame and power. He wants to gain that power by any means. If Iran had knelt on his knees and asked, “Mr President, be kind,” he would have said, “Okay, great,” and probably would not have allowed Israel to do the way Israel did.

But since it was obvious that Iran is not speaking, very bleeding, but still not spoken, I would allow myself to think that the US administration said, “Do it because we are no longer here for negotiations, just like Russia, and Iran.”

Just, we are no longer enough for us, we no longer get it, and some drastic measures are needed. Yes, all that avalanche of commentators who say that the US is just such a peaceful, neutral character who knew nothing, never said anything about Iran’s bad, did not encourage Iran’s regime to overthrow, and is now surprised that Israel did so.

This is what I think we should not be lifted on this bluff, because in reality the United States is conducting all this orchestra.

Do you think nuclear negotiations have finally broke or are there any hope? Iran said he would not be at the negotiating table. It is indeed unclear the damage to the nuclear objects – the military announces serious violations, but the Tatena manager says that the radiation level has not changed, so the damage is still vague. How much did Iran’s nuclear potential actually affect? Could this attack stop the growth of a nuclear bomb or, conversely, to encourage it even more, as is often the case when nationalist, chauvinist movements become more active?

E. Rači: You have asked a lot of questions here, it would probably have to sacrifice a lot of time to answer each detail. I would say that we will start with that question whether we are really convincing the Israeli Prime Minister that Iran has almost produced bombs.

Even israel does not know that, even more so when the Taten does not talk about it. This is than either we believe in the Tatena, or we say we do not believe anything except Netanyahu.

Let us remind you that in the case of Iraq, the US administration has presented evidence, sought to persuade the international community – remember all those trucks, which are transported by Uranus and the like. And now, for some reason, no one even requires any evidence.

E. Rači: Yes, here in this case, we would have to do another trap in another such trap, that we already know that how many of those bombs are almost produced by Iran. And that word “almost” is unclear what it means. That Iran has been developing a nuclear program for decades,and it is very wide,and part of that program is even undoubtedly for civilian purposes – a fact.

Now, as far as the program is broad and deep, even in a physical sense, how much underground has been curated there to hide from, primarily Israeli, perhaps the United States, I cannot deal with it.

it is indeed simply known to publicly that there is no, and it would be challenging to assess whether the program is already so contracted, the six scientists are the main ones that have been killed and all other meaningful people around them.

Mostly nuclear programs work for tens of thousands of people, I imagine, right?

E. Rači: We are talking about leaders who are apparently gifted not onyl as scientists, but also charismatic as leaders. It is indeed difficult to say where Iran is now. We have heard again from the statements of the Prime minister of israel that this is just the beginning.

Israel himself does not think he would have been able to do a lot, and the massacre may seem to be increasing – we will see where it will take, but returning to the question – does it mean that Iran should be ashamed, frightened and said, “You have already killed a lot of our people, but we

It would look strange to me and I personally highly doubt that Iran would like to continue negotiations, because Iran realizes that there are the United States behind all this, even if the specific hands that pressed bombs were in Israeli, not American.

Iran is not naive and realizes that there is a combined operation here, there is a little carrot in the equations, but in reality there is more sticks and what Iran should choose a carrot rather than a stick, but it is difficult for me to see the Iranian authorities to sell it to Iranian citizens as some achievement or achievement.
