Yesterday, Israel was hit by Iran itself, a feat in itself being it is so far away of 968 miles or 1559 km, by 10 intercontinental missiles that could have had in one of the noses, nuclear material of a bomb, which had all of Israel hopefully in bomb shelters. Trump, of course, was only involved with the Strait of Hormuz. Since then we learn it was 20. From NBC:
- IRAN, ISRAEL TRADE STRIKES: Iran has declared an end to its military operations against Israel, after the two sides exchanged a wave of attacks that threatened to tilt the Middle East back into all-out war. Israel has yet to respond to the announcement.
- TRUMP URGES BOTH SIDES TO STOP: President Donald Trump had demanded the two countries "immediately stop shooting." He also said they were "looking to do an immediate ceasefire,” and that “final negotiations on ‘peace’ are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way.”
- POTENTIAL DEAL: Trump had told "Meet the Press" that the U.S. and Iran were "very close" to a deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz but that some points were still being negotiated.
- HOW IT ESCALATED: Three waves of Iranian attacks targeted Israel after Israeli strikes on the Lebanese capital, Beirut. Trump said publicly he would urge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to retaliate, but Israel did hit Iran with intense blasts reported in Tehran and beyond.
