Iran and Israel launched new missile attacks on Wednesday when the war between the two enemies for a long time entered a sixth day, with the president of the United States, Donald Trump, asking for the unconditional delivery of Iran and promoting questions about the participation of the United States in the war.
Israel launched large -scale air attacks against Iran’s nuclear facilities, military sites and private residences on Friday, killing the main commanders, scientists and civilians. He said that strikes are part of a broader operation of “ascending lion” to deter Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, which the latter has constantly denied, saying that its uranium enrichment program is for civil purposes.
The Israeli army said that two Iranian missile bombings were launched to Israel in the first two hours on Wednesday morning. Explosions about Tel Aviv were heard.
Israel told residents in the Tehran area that they evacuated so that their Air Force could attack Iranian military facilities. Iranian news websites said explosions in Tehran and the city of Karaj, west of the capital.

Trump says ‘Now we have total control’ of the heavens of Iran
In a series of publications about Truth Social, the tone and choice of increasingly furious words of Trump indicated that the United States was not far from intervening to support Israel, its closest ally in the region.
“Now we have total and total control of the heavens over Iran,” he published, which caused many to question what he meant with “us.”
The president of the United States has argued that his country is not yet involved in the conflict of Iran-Israel, but threatened Iran with serious consequences if he was heading to US troops and assets in the Middle East.
Then he published “Unconditional surrender”, an apparent demand directed in Tehran.
Trump also made a veiled threat against Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying “we know exactly where the so -called” supreme leader “is hidden … we will not take it out (kill!), At least not for now.”

The American legislator Thomas Massie said he presented a resolution of Powers of the Iran War with his fellow legislator Rot Khanna to prohibit the participation of the United States in the Israel-Iran War.
“This is not our war. Even if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution,” he said. Democrat Ilhan Omar also expressed his support for the resolution.

Trump’s sometimes contradictory and cryptic messages about the conflict between the nearby ally of the United States, Israel and the enemy of a lifetime, Iran has deepened the uncertainty surrounding the crisis. Their public comments have varied from military threats to diplomatic Oberturas, not uncommon for a president known for a often erratic approach to foreign policy.
The most probable option under Trump consideration would be the use of giant pumps of “bunker-buster” of the United States against Iran’s nuclear installation that Israel’s bombs cannot reach.
He BBC Frank Gardner called him the “Question of 30,000 lb”; The United States has them, Israel no, he said. The New York Times He said Trump was also considering allowing US oil planes to replenish Israeli combat aircraft so that they could carry out long -range missions.

The four B52H bombers, which can transport nuclear weapons or other precision guided ammissions, were seen in a southern asphalt in Diego García on Monday at 2:22 PM PKT.
The Secretary of Defense of the United States, Pete Hegseth, also described the deployments as a defensive nature. A White House official said Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday.
The United States already has considerable force in the Middle East, with almost 40,000 troops in the region, including air defense systems, combat aircraft and war ships that can detect and tear down enemy missiles.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, speaking at the summit of the seven nations group in Canada that Trump left early, said there were no indications that the United States was about to enter the conflict.
The United States said it will close its embassy in Jerusalem until Friday in the middle of the growing military conflict between Israel and Iran, as speculation increases the possible US intervention.

Israel launched its air war, the greatest in Iran, on Friday after saying that Iran was about to develop a nuclear weapon.
Iran denies having sought nuclear weapons and has indicated its right to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, including enrichment, as part of the Nuclear Non -Proliferation Treaty.
Israel, which is not part of the TNP, is the only country in the Middle East that is believed to have nuclear weapons. Israel does not deny or confirm that.
Netanyahu has emphasized that it will not go back until Iran’s nuclear development is disabled, while Trump says that the Israeli assault could end if they will accept strict edges in enrichment.
Before the attack of Israel began, the Board of Governors of 35 nations of the UN Nuclear Control Agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency (OIEA), told Iran in breach of its non -proliferation obligations for the first time in almost 20 years.
The OIEA said on Tuesday that an Israeli strike hit directly to the underground enrichment rooms at Natanz’s facilities.
Israel says that it now has control of Iranian airspace and intends to intensify the campaign in the next few days.
