Łukašenka lashes out at Trump over Iran strikes

July 1, Pozirk. Alaksandar Łukašenka has once again criticized Israeli-US air strikes on Iran, speaking at an Independence Day gathering.
“Why should a country that possesses nuclear weapons bomb another country that may be trying to make them for protection? What right does it have to bomb?
“You see, it would never have bombed it if a superpower was not behind it. And you know who was behind it. The confusing, incoherent statements by this president [a reference to US President Donald Trump] are simply ridiculous. By the way, I told it straight to the Americans,” Łukašenka said, according to video clips released by state media.
It appears that “a country that has nuclear weapons” is a reference to Israel, which has never admitted to having a nuclear bomb.
Łukašenka said that he was not inclined to trust the West, and that he expressed this position during negotiations with Keith Kellogg, the US special envoy for Ukraine, in Minsk on June 21.
“Trump says one thing and Europe does another. This mess was created, and people, politicians do not even have time to keep track of it. All of this is scripted, in my opinion. Yes, Trump is angry at Europe—they rejected him and threw their weight behind [former US President Joe] Biden. But Trump won. Yes, he is upset. He could not come to terms with this offense, although any politician should have put the past behind them and started building the present. Their present is that they were together, and they are still together. They are just playing different roles in this show,” Łukašenka said.
“So, do not calm down and do not think that too much has changed,” he went on to say about US policy. “Iran has shown it. On the one hand, Trump is a peacemaker: ‘People are dying. I want to stop the war in Ukraine!’ Then he orders an absolutely illegal strike on Iran,” he said.
