The war against Iran entered its fifth day on Wednesday, with the Trump administration touting early successes against the Iranian regime and the president ranking the war a 15 on a 10-point success scale.
The war against Iran entered its fifth day on Wednesday, with the Trump administration touting early successes against the Iranian regime and the president ranking the war a 15 on a 10-point success scale.
We are now on Day Four of the joint U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. President Trump continues to make his case for the war, saying the goal is to cut off Iran’s nuclear capabilities and ballistic missile program, not to influence regime change.
The U.S.-Israeli joint war against Iran entered its third day Monday, with the Trump administration starting to make its case for the war— as polls show just 1/4 Americans back the war.
The U.S. State Department authorized non-essential personnel and their families to leave Israel Friday, as a possible U.S. strike on Iran appears more likely. Thursday’s nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran did not result in any meaningful breakthroughs, but the Trump administration said Friday that additional talks are planned for next week. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to travel to the region in the coming days.
