Trump announces historical speech: Military surgery in Iran Successful!
In late Saturday evening, US President Donald Trump will keep a highly expected speech to the nation, which is supposed to be a historical moment for the United States, Israel and the world. In his speech, he will report on an "extremely successful military operation in Iran". Details of this operation are explosive: According to Trump, a "very successful attack" on critical Iranian facilities is informed. Among them are the underground uranium enrichment facility in Fordo as well as the locations of Natan and ISFAhan. All aircraft involved should certainly have returned to the home base, which is positive for administration. Radio Ennepe Ruhr reports to Trump's request to Iran to agree and end it, which indicates an escalation of the already tense events.
But what is really behind this "historical" speech? The pressure on Iran increases while the United States strengthens its military presence in the Middle East. There is ambiguity about further military actions, but there are already indications of planning and strategic considerations. SPIEGEL emphasizes that in the last few days a security council of the White House came together to attack possible attacks in the last few days to discuss on Iran. Vice President JD Vance has underlined that the protection of US soldiers and citizens have top priority.
military tensions and diplomatic pressure
The situation is also fueled by the words of ex-Nato Ober commander Wesley Clark, which speaks of massive diplomatic pressure on Iran. Political voices from the democratic camp, on the other hand, warn of the dangers of another war in the Middle East. MP Seth Moulton advocates negotiations with Tehran, while his Republican colleague Lindsey Graham calls for the immediate end of the Iranian nuclear program.
In the meantime, there is an increased relocation of US combat aircraft and warships to the region. More than 40,000 US soldiers are permanently stationed, a fact that does not exactly minimize the risk of retaliation attacks by Iran. Experts estimate that special forces would be necessary to break up the nuclear program. The GBU-57, one of a US aviator bomb, is considered to be particularly powerful for heavily secured bunker systems and could play a crucial role if further military activities arise. Tagesschau emphasizes that the transportability of the GBU-57 is limited to severe strategic bombers of the US air weapon.These developments show that the pressure on the Iranian regime increases. For many Americans and especially for an important group in the Trump movement, which is opposed to a military operation, there are concerns how the situation could develop. But one thing is clear: in the coming days we could witness to an unprecedented escalation in the Middle East.
