US President Donald Trump confirmed on Saturday the launch of coordinated military operations by the United States and Israel against targets in Iran. The strikes hit more than twenty of Iran's thirty-one provinces, with Trump declaring that the goal is to protect the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime. The president acknowledged that American soldiers could die in the operation, while also indicating that he has several further options available should escalation be needed.
According to Trump's statement to Axios, it could take Iran several years to recover from the attack. Meanwhile, Iran has been signaling through Oman its willingness to negotiate, while the Department of Homeland Security has urged residents to move away from Tehran and other affected areas. The attacks had tragic consequences, including an incident at an elementary school in the south of the country, where at least forty girls were killed.
The military escalation has halted global flight routes. Companies such as Wizz Air and Emirates are canceling flights, as world transport faces an unprecedented collapse. Analysts warn that oil prices could rise as high as one hundred dollars per barrel, which would have worldwide economic consequences. Trump indicated that he is trying to achieve a rapid capitulation of the Iranian regime before the elections, while the Iranian regime has not yet used all available military options. International reactions vary: the Czech president is calling for peace, while the Ukrainian president supports the operation against the regime, but not against its citizens.
