In a recent video shared on his social media platform Truth Social, President Donald Trump revealed that the United States military has launched extensive military operations in Iran. He emphasized that the objective of these operations is to safeguard the American people by eliminating immediate threats posed by the Iranian regime. This statement marks a significant escalation in U.S. military involvement in the Middle East, coinciding with ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

The announcement follows a warning from Israel's Defense Minister, Israel Katz, who disclosed that Israel had initiated a 'preventive attack' against Iran the same morning. As the situation unfolds, unnamed U.S. officials have indicated that American attacks are imminent. However, at the time of reporting, neither the Israeli strikes nor President Trump’s declaration have been confirmed by Iranian sources, underscoring the high stakes and rapid developments in this conflict.

This provocative escalation occurs against a backdrop of increasing military buildup by the U.S. in the Middle East, a region where Israel remains its closest ally. Trump's repeated threats to strike Iran signal a strategic pivot that could have serious implications for international relations and regional stability, raising fears of broader conflict if tensions continue to escalate.
