WASHINGTON DC, June 13 (RTSG) – On April 11th, Donald Trump gave Iran a sixty-day deadline to dismantle their nuclear program or face potential military retaliation.
Today is sixty-four days since that threat.
Iran was violently attacked by Israel in an attack using more than three-hundred missiles, targeting not just nuclear installations, but top-level Iranian generals, striking directly at their places of residence. Images from Tehran and other cities show entire apartment buildings destroyed and the bodies of children strewn across the street. Iran has called the attacks “a crime in our beloved country”, and told Israel to “expect a severe punishment”.
The White House has firmly stated its support of Israel, saying that it will defend Israel against any Iranian retaliation. Several other countries have scrambled jets to intercept Iranian drones, launched recently towards the direction of Israel.
Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State for the US, made sure to seperate the United States from these events, saying on X that “tonight, Israel took a unilateral action against Iran,” and that “We are not involved in strikes against Iran”. Rubios statement, which was released minutes after news first broke, said that Israel convinced the US that the strikes were necessary for israel’s national security.
Trump also made a statement on Truth Social, saying that he remains committed to a “diplomatic resolution”.
While there is no direct evidence the United States had any hand in this attack on Iran, the timing is remarkably suspicious.
This is a developing story.
