TRUMP'S JUSTIFIED REACTION REGARDING IRAN, WHOSE MALIGN INFLUENCE IS ALSO FELT IN BALKANS

BANJA LUKA, JULY 8 /SRNA/ - President Milorad Dodik believes that Iran is not just a problem for the Middle East, but that its activities and malign influence have a much broader significance and are also felt in the Balkans, which Republika Srpska knows well.

"Since its inception, Republika Srpska has faced the consequences of such destabilizing policies, and therefore we very well understand the danger posed by the politics of conflict, radicalism, and the undermining of peace," Dodik stated. He reminded that during the civil war in BiH, Iran brought, organized, and trained terrorists to fight against Christians, Orthodox Serbs. "Republika Srpska will never forget the images of terrorists beheading Serbs, who were brought here by the activities of Revolutionary Guard Commander Qasem Soleimani," Dodik posted on X. Dodik assessed that US President Donald Trump has invested serious effort, political will, and clear readiness to achieve peace in the conflicts between Iran and the US. "However, Iran has once again shown its destructive nature, because every time they think the pressure has eased enough, they show their true face. Therefore, President Trump's reaction is understandable and justified," said Dodik. He assessed that the only way to pull Iran out of its constant conflict mode is through "peace through strength" and a decisive policy, clear stance, and approach advocated by US President Donald Trump. "Leniency feeds aggression, while strength paves the way to peace," Dodik pointed out. US President Donald Trump stated that the ceasefire with Iran is over, after the Iranian military carried out new attacks on American bases in the Persian Gulf.
