Could the U.S.-Israel War on Iran Drag On?
The strikes aimed to degrade Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities, with US President Trump calling it a noble mission and Israeli officials warning of missile threats.
- On Saturday, US and Israeli forces struck Tehran and other Iranian cities, describing the operation as a `pre-emptive` action and urging Iranians to overthrow the regime.
- After Thursday, talks between the US and Iran ended without agreement, and the US deployed a vast fleet of warships and aircraft to pressure Iran.
- In the hours after the strikes, US embassies in Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE advised staff to shelter in place while Israeli authorities reported missiles launched from Iran and Iran counterstruck a US naval base in Bahrain.
- British MPs urged the Government to avoid being dragged into a war as Dame Emily Thornberry, chairwoman of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, said she had seen no sign of British involvement and questioned the legality of the strikes; the UK Government is yet to comment.
- Estonian MP Marko Mihkelson urged Europe to back the US and Israel, warning that support is unavoidable and 'whether the United States and Israel are able in the first hours and days to break the resistance or whether the war begins to drag on depends on the defensive actions of the Iranian regime,' Mihkelson said.
