In the escalating war with Iran, US President Donald Trump has rejected a diplomatic solution. Through his platform Truth Social on Friday, he stated that there would be 'no deal,' and that unconditional surrender is the only option left. Trump emphasized that the goal of the military operations by the US and Israel is to completely remove the current leadership of the country.
After a successful change of power and the installation of a leadership deemed 'acceptable' from the US perspective, Trump promised extensive economic support. He pledged to rebuild Iran together with allies to be 'bigger, better, and stronger,' to allow the country a 'great future' under the motto 'Make Iran Great Again.' Reports suggest that large parts of the Iranian air defense and missile capabilities have already been destroyed.
Meanwhile, fighting in the region continues. The Israeli army announced a new phase of its attacks, focusing more intensely on the foundations of the regime. At the same time, targets in Lebanon were shelled. Iran responded with missile attacks on targets in the Persian Gulf and Turkey, with NATO calling this an intentional provocation against an ally.
