Trump announces historic speech: military operation in Iran successful!

Late Saturday evening, US President Donald Trump will deliver a highly anticipated address to the nation, set to mark a historic moment for the United States, Israel and the world. In his speech he will report on an “extremely successful military operation in Iran”. Details about this operation are explosive: According to Trump, there is information about a “very successful attack” on critical Iranian facilities. These include the underground uranium enrichment facility in Fordo as well as the Natans and Isfahan sites. All aircraft involved are reported to have returned safely to home base, which is positive news for the administration. Radio Ennepe Ruhr reports Trump's call for Iran to agree to and end the war, indicating an escalation of already tense events.

But what is really behind this “historic” speech? Pressure on Iran is increasing as the US increases its military presence in the Middle East. There is uncertainty about further military actions, but there are already indications of planning and strategic considerations. Spiegel highlights that a White House Security Council met in recent days to discuss possible attacks on Iran. Vice President JD Vance has emphasized that the protection of US soldiers and citizens is the top priority.

Military tensions and diplomatic pressure

The situation is further fueled by the words of ex-NATO supreme commander Wesley Clark, who speaks of massive diplomatic pressure on Iran. Political voices from the democratic camp, however, warn of the dangers of another war in the Middle East. Representative Seth Moulton calls for negotiations with Tehran, while his Republican colleague Lindsey Graham calls for an immediate end to Iran's nuclear program.

Meanwhile, there is an increased deployment of US fighter jets and warships to the region. More than 40,000 US soldiers are permanently stationed, a situation that does not minimize the risk of retaliatory attacks by Iran. Experts estimate that special forces would be needed to dismantle the nuclear program. The GBU-57, a US aerial bomb, is considered particularly powerful for heavily secured bunkers and could play a crucial role should further military activity occur. Tagesschau highlights that the GBU-57's transport capability is limited to US Air Force heavy strategic bombers.

These developments show that the pressure on the Iranian regime is increasing. For many Americans, and particularly for a significant group in the Trump movement that opposes military action, there are concerns about how the situation might evolve. But one thing is clear: in the coming days we could witness an unprecedented escalation in the Middle East.
