Israel Strike On Iran: Trump Says US-Israel Strikes Aim To Bring ‘Freedom’ To Iranians

US President Donald Trump on Saturday said the objective of the joint US-Israel military strikes on Iran was to secure “freedom” for the Iranian people, as tensions escalated sharply across the Middle East. Trump made the remarks hours after coordinated strikes targeted multiple locations in Iran, including areas near Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s residence and a school east of the country, leaving at least 50 dead. “All I want is freedom for the people,” Trump told The Washington Post during a phone call. He added, “I want a safe nation, and that’s what we’re going to have.” Trump Warns Iranian Forces To Surrender Earlier, Trump warned Iranian forces to lay down their arms and surrender, offering immunity or face “certain death” following the escalation into what he described as a full-scale conflict. Declaring that the “hour of your freedom is at hand,” Trump urged Iranian citizens to remain sheltered as “bombs will be dropping everywhere.” He described the operation as a historic opportunity for the public to “take over” their government. The strikes came after weeks of high-stakes nuclear negotiations and mounting military tensions in the region.

Why was Oman spared as Iran targeted Gulf states after US–Israel strikes

Bored of Peace? Half of Donald Trump's Board of Peace is at war

Donald Trump’s grandly titled Board of Peace was supposed to be a Trumpian alternative to the United Nations, promising order, stability, and the end of endless wars. Instead, it resembles a Yes Minister casting call where the least qualified are handed the grandest titles. Nearly half its members are now entangled in active military escalation, from US-Israel strikes on Iran to Pakistan’s growing confrontation with the Taliban. The result is an institution dedicated to peace whose members are too busy exchanging missiles to practise it. Like many international bodies before it, the Board of Peace demonstrates that peace, as ever, remains largely aspirational branding.
