Trump estaría cerca de lanzar una gran guerra contra Irán

@EnlaceJudio


El gobierno de Trump está más cerca de una gran guerra en Oriente Medio de lo que la mayoría de los estadounidenses cree y podría comenzar muy pronto, informó Axios.


Una operación militar estadounidense en Irán probablemente sería una campaña masiva de semanas de duración, que se asemejaría más a una guerra en toda regla que la operación puntual del mes pasado en Venezuela, según las fuentes.


Las fuentes señalaron que probablemente sería una campaña conjunta entre Estados Unidos e Israel de mucho mayor alcance —y más existencial para el régimen— que la guerra de 12 días liderada por Israel en junio pasado, a la que Estados Unidos finalmente se unió para destruir las instalaciones nucleares subterráneas de Irán.


Dicha guerra tendría una influencia drástica en toda la región y consecuencias importantes para los tres años restantes de la presidencia de Trump.


Con la atención del Congreso y la opinión pública ocupada en otras cuestiones, hay poco debate público sobre lo que podría ser la intervención militar estadounidense más trascendental en Oriente Medio en al menos una década. Trump estuvo a punto de atacar a Irán a principios de enero por la muerte de miles de manifestantes a manos del régimen.


Pero cuando se agotó la oportunidad, la administración adoptó una estrategia de dos vías: negociaciones nucleares combinadas con un aumento masivo de la capacidad militar.


Al retrasar y emplear tanta fuerza, Trump ha generado expectativas sobre cómo se desarrollará una operación si no se logra un acuerdo. Y, por ahora, no parece probable un acuerdo.


Los asesores de Trump, Jared Kushner y Steve Witkoff, se reunieron con el ministro de Asuntos Exteriores de Irán, Abbas Araghchi, durante tres horas en Ginebra el martes.


Si bien ambas partes afirmaron que las conversaciones “progresaron”, las diferencias son considerables y los funcionarios estadounidenses no se muestran optimistas sobre su cierre.


El vicepresidente Vance declaró a Fox News que las conversaciones “fueron bien” en algunos aspectos, pero “en otros, quedó muy claro que el presidente ha establecido algunas líneas rojas que los iraníes aún no están dispuestos a reconocer ni a superar”. Vance dejó claro que, si bien Trump desea un acuerdo, podría determinar que la diplomacia ha llegado a su fin natural.


La armada de Trump ha crecido hasta incluir dos portaaviones, una docena de buques de guerra, cientos de aviones de combate y múltiples sistemas de defensa aérea. Parte de esa potencia de fuego aún está en camino.


Más de 150 vuelos de carga militares estadounidenses han transportado sistemas de armas y municiones a Oriente Medio. Tan solo en las últimas 24 horas, otros 50 aviones de combate (F-35, F-22 y F-16) se dirigieron a la región.


El impasse con Irán se ha prolongado tanto que muchos estadounidenses probablemente lo han ignorado. La guerra podría llegar antes y ser mucho más grave de lo que la mayoría reconoce, según las fuentes.


La escalada militar y retórica de Trump le dificulta dar marcha atrás sin concesiones importantes de Irán en su programa nuclear. No es propio de Trump, y sus asesores no consideran el despliegue de todo ese armamento un engaño.


Con Trump, todo puede pasar. Pero todo apunta a que apretará el gatillo si las conversaciones fracasan.


El gobierno israelí, que impulsa un escenario maximalista que prioriza un cambio de régimen, así como los programas nucleares y de misiles de Irán, se prepara para una guerra en cuestión de días, según dos funcionarios israelíes.


Algunas fuentes estadounidenses informan a Axios que Estados Unidos podría necesitar más tiempo. El senador Lindsey Graham (republicano por Carolina del Sur) afirmó que los ataques podrían tardar semanas. Pero otros afirman que el cronograma podría ser más corto.


“El jefe se está cansando. Algunos de su entorno le advierten que no vaya a la guerra con Irán, pero creo que hay un 90 % de probabilidades de que veamos una acción cinética en las próximas semanas”, declaró un asesor de Trump.


Funcionarios estadounidenses afirmaron, tras las conversaciones del martes, que Irán debe presentar una propuesta detallada en dos semanas.


El 19 de junio pasado, la Casa Blanca le dio a Trump un plazo de dos semanas para decidir entre continuar las conversaciones o lanzar ataques. Tres días después, lanzó la Operación Martillo de Medianoche.


No hay indicios de un avance diplomático con Irán en el horizonte. Pero cada vez hay más indicios de que una guerra es inminente.

60th Anniversary Gala Celebration

 On Saturday December 18, 2021 we were very excited to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Cuban Hebrew Congregation / Temple Beth Shmuel in a magnificent Gala event. The evening started with champagne and hors d oeurves in the cocktail room. Our guests were invited to walk in to a red carpet timeline gallery of pictures and descriptions from where it all began. Beginning in Cuba and coming to Miami, the success of the years in-between to today’s 60 years of celebration. This included a beautiful homage to Ofelia Ruder, The Presidents’ Wall and the Honor Wall which included Rabbi Dow Rozencwaig, Jack Chester, Isaac & Nieves Olemberg, Oscar & Rosa Boruchin and Lorenzo & Lucy Rozencwaig.


The evening continued in the beautiful Olemberg Ballroom where homage was made to the families that were instrumental in keeping the doors open and growing the community for the past 60 years. We invited Mayor Daniella Levin Cava of Miami Dade County and commissioners, Ms. Kristen Castillo presented a Proclamation to the Cuban Hebrew Congregation in honor of 60 years. In addition a special award was given to Becky Kobrowski-Cohen for her valuable contributions to the community. We also invited Mayor Dan Gelber of Miami Beach and commissioners  Vice Mayor David Richardson and commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez who presented a Proclamation naming Dec 18, 2021 Cuban Hebrew Congregation Day in honor of the 60thAnniversary. The following people were awarded appreciation certificates for their dedication to the community and to the Cuban Hebrew Congregation growth. The honorees are Avi Ashkenazi, Rosa Boruchin, Rachel Dubelman, Gaby Oleksnianski and Lucy Rozencwaig. A special award was given to Becky Kobrowski-Cohen in recognition for her vision and leadership that has helped the community and Cuban Hebrew Congregation.


After the presentations the party began with dinner, dancing, drinking and being entertained by the fabulous Melina Almodovar and her band. We were treated to a special rendition of Siboney by our own Baritone Rabbi Stephen Texon. Finishing the night we had a tribute to Cuba with Celia Cruz’s Life is a Carnival, maracas and Cuban coffee. If you were not dancing on the dance floor you were dancing in your chair.


We would like to thank all of you who have supported the Cuban Hebrew Congregation and the 60thAnniversary. This would not have been possible without you and our most generous sponsors; Mr. & Mrs. Roberto Olemberg, Brandon Insurance Company, Golden & Glaskow Attorney Firm, Ms. Rosa Boruchin, Ms. Lucy Rozencwaig, Cohen Family, Moncarz Family, Shaike Caterer, Bella Cuba Restaurant, Torah Treasure, Café La Llave, Cuban Cigars, Sentir Cubano, Goya, Little Habana Restaurant and Moises Bakery.

For all those who wanted to attend and were not able we thank you for your understanding and for your support as donations continue to come in. We will not be waiting another 10 years for our next celebration and we look forward to seeing you at our next cultural or social event.
