Donald Trump-Iran Attacks Israel
Immediately after Trump’s speech, Iran responded by launching a series of missiles towards Israel.
Israeli Military remarked that the country’s air defences were responding to Iranian missile attacks. It added that missiles launched from Iran were identified. According to the Israeli military’s Home Front Command, air raid sirens sounded across several parts of Northern Israel. The Front Command added that there were no immediate reports or threats of any damage or casualties.
Trump mocked Iranian strikes on Israel by saying their missiles are just about being beaten or used up. Iran responded by mocking USA, saying it wondered if the air raid sirens were meteor showers from Mars.

Trump’s open threat
Donald Trump commented that the United States of America is on the right track to achieve its military objectives soon. Trump added that Iran would be hit extremely hard over the course of the next 2-3 weeks and Iran would be sent back to the Stone Ages where they rightly belong. After Trump’s speech, markets across the world crashed. Brent crude jumped $5 a barrel and the world may see inflation, soaring oil prices and shortage of basic essentials in the near term.
In another development, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian urged the citizens of USA to see the actions of Iran as self-defence and not aggression. Pezeshkian also urged American citizens to look past political rhetoric. Also, Britain announced that it would soon be hosting a virtual summit with 35 nations where steps to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz would be discussed.
