Americans woke up on Saturday, February 28, to the sounds of news about a missile attack on Iran. President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States conducted a joint strike with Israel against Iran after the latter failed to meet Trump’s nuclear demands. Now that the U.S. and Israel have spoken out about the attack, can we talk about the beginning of a war with Iran?
Here’s what we know about the situation so far.
As mentioned, the U.S. launched a joint strike with Israel against Iran due to the country’s nuclear program. Trump had urged Tehran to meet his expectations, but since that did not happen, the Americans fired missiles at Iran.
«We are going to destroy their missiles and wipe their missile industry off the face of the earth», - Trump said in his address that day. «We are going to annihilate their navy, we will ensure that terrorist proxies in the region can no longer destabilize the situation in the region and in the world».
In an eight-minute video, Trump also noted that the reason for the missile attack was a long-standing conflict between the U.S. and Iran that dates back to the 1970s.
At the time of publication, no one had officially declared war, but Trump warned the public that American servicemen could lose their lives during the military operation. He said, «The lives of brave American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. This often happens in war, but we do this for the future».
After the missiles struck Iran, the country responded by targeting the headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet in the island kingdom, according to several sources. According to PBS, explosions were heard in Qatar and Kuwait, where U.S. Central Command forces are located.
Trump also urged Iranians to stay home and overthrow their government when they have the chance.
«To the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight: The hour of your freedom has arrived», - said the Republican president. «Stay in your shelters. Do not go outside. It is very dangerous out there. Bombs will be falling everywhere. When we are done, take your government. It will be yours. This is probably your only chance for generations»
