As the confrontation between Iran and Israel intensified for a sixth day, U.S. President Donald Trump ramped up his rhetoric, calling for Iran to surrender without any conditions. Speaking to the public via social media, Trump indicated that America’s patience is nearing its limit, though he clarified there is currently “no intention” to target Iran’s top leadership.
The situation on the ground remained highly volatile early Wednesday as an Israeli military spokesperson reported that around 10 ballistic missiles had been launched from within Iran toward Israeli territory. According to defense officials, Israeli air defenses managed to intercept the majority of the projectiles, though explosions echoed across Tel Aviv’s skyline.
Inside the White House, Trump convened with senior advisers in the Situation Room to assess the U.S. response. While all options remain on the table, the possibility of a targeted military strike against Iran has emerged as one of several potential courses of action, according to officials familiar with the discussions.
The developments come as the White House seeks to clarify its position amid the spiraling violence in the region, with Trump signaling a readiness to take more assertive measures. The situation remains dynamic, with geopolitical risk mounting for global markets and regional stability.
