Trump seeks complete termination - deserted city of Tehran
Title: The Escalating Conflict: Israel vs. Iran Unfolds Across the Middle East
In a recent turn of events, the Mideast has been set ablaze by a dramatic escalation between Israel and Iran, ignited by a series of Israel's air and drone strikes on Iranian soil, starting June 13, 2025. These attacks targeted Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities, along with decapitating its military leadership. The ripple effect? Over two hundred casualties in Iran and at least two dozen in Israel. Iran retaliated forcefully, bombarding Israeli territory with a barrage of missiles and drones.
Israel sustainably struck the northern parts of Tehran once more, causing a heavy explosion in a densely populated district known for its shopping centers. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed to hit "very significant targets," and the Israelis have set the ambitious goal to neutralize the key target - the Fordo nuclear facility. Despite the increasing tension, the US is only involved in defending Israel, with any further decision being respected.
The fighting in Tehran is relentless; many districts turn into ghost towns, and 15 million residents have fled, leaving supermarkets desolate, and internet access severely restricted. The Israeli military has claimed to be capable of destroying many incoming missiles while still in transport, thus reducing the barrage. The Israeli air force now enjoys significant operational freedom in Iranian airspace.
Alarm bells rang at the G7 summit in Canada, as the nations' leaders reached a consensus on a joint statement condemning Iran as "the principal source of regional instability and terrorism" and reinforcing Israel's right to self-defense. The statement also underlined that Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon.
The Fordo nuclear facility near Qom is a focal point of international concern, given its deep underground location and believed clandestine activities. Despite this, the facility remains untouched, according to recent reports, as Israel opts to focus its strikes on other targets like Natanz. Analysts argue that Fordo's hardened defenses make it a more challenging target.
US President Trump has vocalized his stance, urging that Iran must not possess a nuclear weapon, going as far as to label Iran "very close" to achieving that objective, contradicting earlier US intelligence assessments. Israel's ambassador to Washington, Yechiel Leiter, emphasizes that the ultimate goal is to neutralize Fordo at the end of this entire operation.
The conflict's humanitarian toll escalates with each passing day. Trump's earlier statement on the conflict likened it to a "waste of lives." The US, in response, has reinforced its military presence in the Middle East, sending a second aircraft carrier to the region and deploying dozens of tanker aircraft to Europe as a quick response measure. The red line? Protecting their own troops stationed in the Middle East.
In an intriguing twist, Trump had previously proposed an agreement concerning the Iranian nuclear program, but Tehran dismissed it. As the conflict intensifies, the world eagerly awaits the day this confrontation will come to an end.
