Editorial: Le Monde

• Donald Trump claimed a 'spectacular military success' after bombings on Iran's three nuclear sites.
• This represents a stark change in attitude from Trump, who had advocated for diplomacy just ten days prior.
• This change is due to an unexpected shift in the balance of power between the United States and its ally Israel.
• Donald Trump warned Iran that there will be peace or a 'tragedy' greater than what we've seen over the past eight days.
• Trump admits that the bombings are not suitable to definitively end Iran's nuclear ambitions.
• Diplomacy, an effective tool, has been disregarded in favor of military action.

Conclusion: This sudden reversal brings into question the long-term effectiveness of US action. Solo military action does not appear to be sufficient to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions, making the situation in the region even more tense and dangerous.
