MARINES IN IRAN, IL RISCHIO ENORME CHE PUÒ PESARE SU TRUMP E SUI MIDTERM | GENERALE MORABITO

On IlSussidiario TV, Italian Army Reserve Brigadier General Giuseppe Morabito analyzes the conflict between the United States and Iran, the risks of a land operation, the strategic role of the Strait of Hormuz, and political divisions within Trump's camp. 00:00 Introduction: The new confrontation between the United States and Iran 00:55 American strategies and the possibility of a land intervention 02:08 Israel and the risk of escalating the conflict 04:06 Marines, the Strait of Hormuz, and attempts at negotiation 09:21 Conclusions: Trump, Israel, MAGA divisions, and the US election In the interview, Morabito argues that the United States did not unilaterally launch the offensive, but is reacting to Iranian attacks and striking military infrastructure used in operations against maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. A land intervention, he notes, remains possible, but would require a very costly commitment in terms of personnel, equipment, and logistics. The strategic crux is the Strait of Hormuz, which Morabito considers Iran's main leverage. Even an occupation of the Iranian coast or a landing by US Marine Corps units would only partially reduce the threat, as drones and missiles could continue to be launched from within the country. Furthermore, according to the general, Tehran is avoiding direct attacks on Israel to avoid provoking a new Israeli military intervention, which could inflict even more serious damage. On the diplomatic level, Qatar and Pakistan continue to play a mediating role in the talks between Washington and Tehran. According to Morabito, Doha is particularly interested in the security of energy routes, while Islamabad would also act with China's energy interests in mind. Regarding US policy, Morabito describes a MAGA movement divided between those who support the continuation of the conflict and those who call for a negotiated solution. The midterm elections of November 3, 2026, he concludes, could influence President Donald Trump's choices and the prospects of Vice President J.D. Vance's potential Republican presidential candidacy.
