NBC je poročal, da je ameriški predsednik Trump nenadoma in na hitro “pavziral” napovedano akcijo “osvoboditve” ladij iz Zaliva z vojaško silo (akcija “Freedom”) , ker sta Savdska Arabija in Kuvajt zaprli zračni prostor za ameriška letala.
Spodnja razlaga, zakaj sta to naredili, zveni smiselno: Ne zato, ker se z akcijo nista strinjali, pač pa zato, ker jima ZDA niso zagotovile zaščite v primeru iranskih povračilnih ukrepov. Ker Trump uporablja zalivske države kot pogajalski drobiž v želji doseči “dogovor” z Iranom.
Having spoken to a senior Saudi official about the NBC article regarding Project Freedom, I honestly think the article completely misunderstood what actually happened because it was written almost entirely from a US perspective rather than from a GCC perspective.
First of all, contrary to the impression being created, the GCC were NOT blindsided by Project Freedom.
They knew about it beforehand. Roughly half a day before. The airspace was opened. The facilities were available. Nobody objected. There was broad support for the idea because, at least publicly, Project Freedom was supposed to be a limited humanitarian-security operation aimed at relieving the 22,000 sailors trapped around Hormuz and allowing shipping lanes to breathe again.
Nobody in the GCC had a problem with that.
But here is the issue .. and this is the part the NBC article completely misses.
