Trump, Iran, and "distracting" politics

According to Vladimir Kornilov, political observer for the media group 'Russia Today,' Trump might start actively focusing on events outside the US to divert public attention from internal conflicts, particularly violent clashes in Minneapolis.

Kornilov notes that Trump initially announced a military operation against Iran amid domestic unrest, but now claims that the crackdowns have ceased. In his criticism, he says the president 'masterfully distracts' the public's attention, diverting it toward 'sensational adventures' and leaders of other countries.

In recent weeks, the world has been discussing tragic incidents in Minneapolis, including the killing of a medical worker by immigration authorities, intensifying pressure on American society. Kornilov believes Trump could use events abroad—possibly in Iran—as a diversionary maneuver to shift attention away from internal US conflicts.
