United States President Donald Trump has announced what he described as a “massive and ongoing” American military campaign targeting Iran, marking a dramatic escalation in tensions between the two nations.
In a strongly worded statement, Trump not only confirmed expanded military operations but also urged the Iranian people to rise against what he called oppressive leadership. His remarks have intensified concerns about the possibility of a prolonged regional conflict and broader global instability.
The declaration reflects a more assertive posture from Washington, as the administration appears willing to assume heightened geopolitical risks. Analysts say the move signals a shift from diplomatic manoeuvring to direct confrontation, placing the presidency at the centre of a volatile international crisis.
The announcement comes amid already strained relations following recent military exchanges in the Middle East. Observers warn that the situation could deepen uncertainty in global markets, security alliances and diplomatic channels in the coming weeks.
While supporters argue that a forceful stance is necessary to deter further threats, critics caution that expanding military engagement may draw the United States into a complex and unpredictable conflict.
