US EditionGranite Staters Have Varying Opinions on Strikes in Iran
President Trump ordered US strikes on Iran amid ongoing negotiations, escalating regional tensions and prompting Iranian missile retaliation against US bases and allies.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump ordered US strikes on Iran, saying the aim was to prevent Iran threatening America; Iran retaliated within hours by firing missiles at bases and cities hosting US troops.
- US and Iranian negotiators held three rounds of talks earlier this month, with Omani mediators describing last Thursday's round as positive amid rising confrontation since the June conflict.

- Observers tied the move to decades of Israeli pressure, with critics calling it 'another Israeli war' and scholars warning decapitation attacks are unpredictable and risk a quagmire.
