The war against Iran goes on. US President Donald Trump speaks clearly. He demands the unconditional surrender of the Iranian leadership. He does not want a normal agreement. Trump wants to pick new leaders for Iran only after the surrender.
The White House expects a short war. It should last about 4 to 6 weeks. The US government says: We make fast progress. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stresses: The USA has enough ammunition for the mission. Trump rules out ground troops right now.
Israel attacks targets in Lebanon. It bombs areas near the city of Beirut. Israel fights the group Hezbollah there. Blue helmet soldiers from Ghana were also hurt in the attacks. The UN soldiers actually keep the peace.
Oil prices rise strongly around the world. This is because of fear about the war. The USA therefore allows India an exception for now. India can keep buying oil from Russia. This should keep the energy market stable.
