Trump Promised Bigger Destruction than Ever
As tensions in the Persian Gulf are escalating and the opposing sides continue to exchange strikes, causing extensive damage to civilian infrastructure in Iran and the Arab states, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warms of repercussions a in a statement.“Russia urges all parties to the conflict to exercise restraint and avoid actions that could further escalate the conflict and further deteriorate the military-political situation in the Middle East.”
A negative development in the situation would be fraught with critical consequences for international energy and food security, Zakharova warned.
Iran has directly rejected any renewed U.S.-backed ceasefire initiative mediated by Qatar or any other party, with Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi saying Tehran will take no meaningful diplomatic steps until Washington changes its approach and respects Iran's interests.
"The problem is America's approach, which is illogical, excessive, and domineering," Araghchi said in an interview with Iranian state TV. "Their domineering nature has been met with our firm responses, and until they understand that there is no way forward except respecting the Iranian nation, there is no opportunity for us to take any meaningful steps."
American President Donald Trump announces the US is about to carry out a massive attack on Iran "way bigger than Operation Epic Fury and bigger than any attack ever carried out before," saying "we are all set for it," and are "close to making a decision," Trump tells Axios.
This comes as Israel have been placed on maximum alert with numerous anti-missile shelters opening in Israel today, including the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
Trump also says Iranians "haven't received enough pain yet" and claims they "want to negotiate" but are not ready to make a deal, contradicting Iran's comprehensive no-negotiations with the US doctrine reaffirmed by Ghalibaf, Gharibabadi, Marandi, and Baghaei this week.
He said he was seriously considering resuming a broader war against Iran and launching an attack larger than Operation Epic Fury, but said he had not made a final decision. “I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than anything that has happened before. I am close to making a decision. We are fully prepared for it,” Trump told Channel 12 journalist Barak Ravid in a brief telephone interview.
Trump gave no timeframe for a decision. Channel 12 cited two other US officials as saying no decision had been made and no new orders had been issued to the military.
Trump said Israel “would join within two minutes if I asked,” but added that the United States did not need anyone to launch a new operation against Iran.
He said there would be “consequences” if Israel joined the strikes, appearing to refer to possible Iranian retaliation against Israel.
Trump said the Iranians “want to negotiate” but were not yet prepared to reach an agreement.
Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have demonstrated their capabilities to send ballistic missiles to any part of the Gulf region.
Iranian forces have ultimately destroyed all the US military bases across the middle east. If Israel should join or allow the US fighter jets in it's territory, Iran's military must attack Israel.
Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq and Syria have all witnessed and welcomed the Iranian ballistic missiles in their territories destroying US military assets and lost of personnel.
