Deep Look
Trump Boasts Air Superiority
“Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA,” Trump wrote, comparing American-made defense systems to Iran’s “good sky trackers” as inferior.
Germany Stands with Israel
On the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Canada, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz praised Israel’s actions against Iran, telling ZDF and Welt that Israel is doing “the dirty work” for global security.
He added that the Iranian regime is weakened, cautioning its eventual future remains uncertain.
Missile Sirens Sound in Israel
Air raid sirens blared across Jerusalem and Tel Aviv after Iran launched another round of missiles. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), most threats were intercepted, and civilians were advised to follow safety instructions from the Home Front Command before being told it was safe to emerge.
Israel Pledges Retaliation
Defense Minister Israel Katz escalated rhetoric, warning Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei could face consequences akin to Saddam Hussein’s downfall.
“He would do well to remember the fate of the dictator… who chose this same path,” Katz told military officials, signaling more strikes in Tehran—targeting regime and propaganda installations.
U.S. Position: Defense First
While Trump asserts U.S. dominance in the skies, American forces have not participated in offensive operations. Officially, U.S. support remains defensive only, assisting in intercepting missiles launched by Iran but stopping short of active engagement in strikes.
