Israel-Iran attacks continue; Trump demands unconditional surrender

 

• Explosions rock Tehran as Israel claims attacks on centrifuge and weapons production sites in Iran, with the conflict now in its sixth day.
• The attacks come after Iran launched more missiles towards Israel, including the hypersonic Fattah projectile, claiming the weapon broke through Israeli air defences.

Al Jazeera is reporting from Jordan because it has been banned from Israel and the occupied West Bank.

Overnight, there was a back-to-back commentary and discussion about an imminent decision from the American president.

There was euphoria about the possibility the US would use the B-52 bombers that would, once and for all, finish the job.

This morning, just to give you an indication of how much support this has, the front page of Yedioth Ahronoth has a picture of Trump in Air Force One and the headline is “Mr President give the order”.

There is a lot of anticipation for such an involvement that is seen as something that would conclusively end the war to Israel’s advantage. Although there are some voices that say that even if Trump doesn’t give the order, Israel is going to push on – it would take more time – but it can also do what is necessary according to Israeli interests.
