Israel e Irán iniciaron un enfrentamiento sin precedentes que abre un futuro incierto en el conflicto de Medio Oriente
El 11 de febrero de 1979, la revolución islámica del ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini lograba un histórico triunfo sobre la dictadura del shah y empezaba así una nueva era no solo en Irán, sino en todo Medio Oriente.
A más de 46 años de aquel movimiento, muchos son los que piensan que la región puede estar enfrentándose a un nuevo paradigma de cambio en un contexto de fuerte reconfiguración a nivel global en términos comerciales, políticos y de alianzas militares.

Israel e Irán iniciaron en las últimas horas el primer enfrentamiento directo a gran escala desde que la Revolución Islámica tomó el poder en Teherán. Las dos grandes potencias de la región se declararon y perciben como enemigos, pero hasta el momento habían evitado un choque de estas características.
El riesgo que esto supone es alto, y por eso rápidamente los principales funcionarios occidentales salieron a clamar o intentar mediar para lograr una mesa de conservación que frene una escalada que puede entrar en un espiral incierto.

Desde el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, pasando por el premier británico, Keir Starmer, hasta llegar al mandatario de Francia, Emmanuel Macron, todos buscaron a su manera evitar que ambos gobiernos continúen con sus estrategias de masivos y poderosos ataques aéreos.
Ningún intento en público o en privado tuvo efecto en esta primera etapa de la histórica guerra: Benjamin Netanyahu prometió que los ataques israelíes seguirán desarrollándose “el tiempo que sea necesario” hasta terminar con las capacidades nucleares de Irán, mientras que Teherán prometió “venganza” y “abrir la puerta del infierno” en Israel.

En un mundo donde la escuela realista de las relaciones internacionales parece imponerse por sobre el resto de las ideologías en materia de política exterior y seguridad, los ataques en suelo iraní y la posterior respuesta sobre las principales ciudades israelíes dejaron en claro que esta vez será distinto: no habrá -por ahora- tanta especulación y diálogo como hubo en los choques del año pasado.
“Del lado iraní hay una demanda importante para que haya una respuesta, no están buscando terminar con el poderío militar israelí porque se sabe que es imposible, pero sí dar un golpe para que el mundo vea las imágenes de las principales ciudades de Israel atacadas”, analiza en diálogo con TN Paulo Botta, especialista en Medio Oriente y director de la Oficina de América Latina de TRENDS Research & Advisory.
Luego, agregó: “Del lado israelí va a pasar que esta respuesta iraní le dará pie a una segunda ola de fuertes ataques, como pasó en la madrugada del viernes. Ahora Irán va a tener mayor preparación, aunque ya mostró que su sistema de defensa antiaéreo no puede contener la capacidad militar de Israel”.

En esta nueva guerra tiene un lugar predilecto la amenaza nuclear. Israel justificó su intervención aludiendo que, de caso contrario, el régimen de los ayatollah tendrían la capacidad de desarrollar 15 armas nucleares en el corto plazo. Días atrás, Estados Unidos había frenado su negociación nuclear con Irán por diferencias entre las partes.
Allí es donde aparece el interrogante de cuál es el papel real que Trump está jugando en este conflicto. En primer lugar, y a los pocos minutos de conocerse el primer ataque israelí, el secretario de Estado estadounidense, Marcos Rubio, explicó que Netanyahu lo había hecho de manera “unilateral”.
Pero el viernes, el mensaje del presidente norteamericano planteó el interrogante si, acaso, Estados Unidos no se mueve desde las sombras para debilitar a Irán y obligarlo a sentarse nuevamente en la mesa de negociación pero con otras condiciones. “Lleguen a un acuerdo ahora antes que sea tarde”, escribió el presidente estadounidense en Truth Social.

“Indudablemente, Israel quiere seguir socavando el esfuerzo militar iraní, pero al mismo tiempo quiere llevarlo a una mesa de negociaciones”, aseguró en diálogo con este medio el capitán de navío y analista internacional Guillermo Spinelli, para luego ampliar: “Israel dijo que va a ser una campaña larga, donde irá evaluando el castigo que le impone a Irán para llevarlo a la mesa de negociaciones”.
Además, según su mirada, “si los iraníes se niegan a ir a la mesa de negociaciones, Israel seguirá adelante hasta intentar destruir el programa nuclear iraní por completo, con la posibilidad de que en algún momento Teherán vea esta situación y acepte negociar”.
Un tablero de ajedrez que ya está distribuido y un futuro en Medio Oriente que es incierto y amenaza con convertirse en un espiral de violencia nunca antes vista en los más de 45 años de Revolución Islámica.

Dem governor under fire after illegal alien allegedly stabs woman to death at bus stop: ‘Heinous’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: The Department of Homeland Security is calling on Virginia’s Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger to ensure local law enforcement cooperates with federal immigration officials by handing over an illegal immigrant with a lengthy criminal record who allegedly killed a woman earlier this week at a Virginia bus stop.
Police in Fairfax County, Virginia, arrested an illegal immigrant from Sierra Leone earlier this week on charges of second-degree murder after he allegedly fatally stabbed a woman, Stephanie Minter, 41, who was found dead at a local bus stop with several wounds to the upper body.
The alleged suspect, Abdul Jalloh, 32, also has a criminal history of more than 30 arrests, according to DHS, including for rape, malicious wounding, assault, identity theft, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, assault and pick-pocketing.
The request from the Trump administration comes after the newly elected Democratic governor of Virginia signed an executive order to end cooperation between federal immigration officials and state and local law enforcement, a move several Democratic Party governors have taken recently amid President Donald Trump’s move to increase deportation operations around the country.
The DHS request asking Virginia officials to cooperate with ICE also comes after an illegal immigrant allegedly murdered someone just days after being released from jail for a separate crime in December.

«We are calling on Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger and Virginia’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this murderer and violent career criminal from their jail without notifying ICE,» said Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
«This illegal alien’s murder of an innocent, beautiful American woman came less than 24 hours before Governor Spanberger’s demonization of ICE law enforcement. This heinous criminal is a perfect example of why we need cooperation from sanctuary jurisdictions and the importance of third country removals for the safety of the American people.»
Spanberger’s representatives did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Jalloh entered the United States illegally in 2012, according to DHS, and immigration officials lodged an immigration detainer against him in 2020, whereupon he was granted a final order of removal by a judge who said he could be removed to any country other than Sierra Leone.

DHS indicated that ICE cooperation to ensure Jalloh’s deportation is evident after a case Fox News covered in December when a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, Marvin Morales-Ortez, 23, allegedly killed a man just a day after Fairfax County jail officials let him go.
The immigrant from El Salvador had been in custody on charges of malicious wounding and brandishing a gun, but police released him after the Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, led by George Soros-backed prosecutor Steve Descano, dropped the charges.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Fairfax County Sheriff’s office to inquire about why the man had not been handed over to ICE.
The sheriff’s office said, «ICE was aware of Morales-Ortez’s incarceration and elected not to seek a judicial warrant to ensure he remained in custody.

«The Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office follows all local, state and federal laws when determining whether a person is subject to release from the ADC,» the sheriff’s office told Fox News Digital at the time. «Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is automatically notified any time a person is booked into the ADC.»

Trump says he plans to order federal ban on Anthropic AI after company refuses Pentagon demands
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump on Friday said he was ordering every federal government agency to stop using Athropic AI immediately.
«THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military,» Trump began in a lengthy Truth Social post Friday afternoon.
He added, «The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY.»
The president said he would immediately direct every federal agency to stop using Anthropic technology.

«We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again!» he continued.
There will be a six-month phase out period for agencies such as the Department of War, he added.
«Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow,» he wrote.
He continued, «WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about.»
Earlier this week, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei refused demands from the Department of War to use its artificial intelligence for «all lawful purposes,» but Amodei said no, concerned over the possibility it could be used for «mass domestic surveillance» or «fully autonomous weapons.»

«The Department of War has stated they will only contract with AI companies who accede to ‘any lawful use’ and remove safeguards in the cases mentioned above. They have threatened to remove us from their systems if we maintain these safeguards; they have also threatened to designate us a ‘supply chain risk’ — a label reserved for US adversaries, never before applied to an American company — and to invoke the Defense Production Act to force the safeguards’ removal,» Amodei said in a Thursday statement.
He declared that the «threats do not change our position: we cannot in good conscience accede to their request.»
Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs Sean Parnell declared in a post on X that the department does not want to engage in either of those activities but is asking to use Anthropic’s AI for all legal purposes.
«The Department of War has no interest in using AI to conduct mass surveillance of Americans (which is illegal) nor do we want to use AI to develop autonomous weapons that operate without human involvement,» Parnell said in the post. «Here’s what we’re asking: Allow the Pentagon to use Anthropic’s model for all lawful purposes.»
«This is a simple, common-sense request that will prevent Anthropic from jeopardizing critical military operations and potentially putting our warfighters at risk. We will not let ANY company dictate the terms regarding how we make operational decisions. They have until 5:01 PM ET on Friday to decide. Otherwise, we will terminate our partnership with Anthropic and deem them a supply chain risk for DOW,» he noted.

Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael accused Anthropic and Amodei of lying.
In a post on X, Michael called Amodei «a liar» who «has a God-complex.»
«He wants nothing more than to try to personally control the US Military and is ok putting our nation’s safety at risk. The @DeptofWar will ALWAYS adhere to the law but not bend to whims of any one for-profit tech company,» he asserted.
In another post he asserted, «Anthropic is lying. The @DeptofWar doesn’t do mass surveillance as that is already illegal. What we are talking about is allowing our warfighters to use AI without having to call @DarioAmodei for permission to shoot down an enemy drone swarms that would kill Americans.»

«It is the Department’s prerogative to select contractors most aligned with their vision. But given the substantial value that Anthropic’s technology provides to our armed forces, we hope they reconsider,» Amodei said in a statement sent on Thursday to Fox News Digital. «Our strong preference is to continue to serve the Department and our warfighters — with our two requested safeguards in place. Should the Department choose to offboard Anthropic, we will work to enable a smooth transition to another provider, avoiding any disruption to ongoing military planning, operations, or other critical missions. Our models will be available on the expansive terms we have proposed for as long as required.»
«We remain ready to continue our work to support the national security of the United States,» he added.
Fox News Digital’s Alex Nitzberg contributed to this report.
