BREAKING NEWS-Trump Approves Iran Strikes as Nuclear Standoff and Regional Conflict Escalate

U.S. Strike Plans Approved — Iran Warns of “All-Out War”

President Donald Trump has now formally approved U.S. military strike plans against Iran, specifically targeting nuclear facilities. While the final launch order has not yet been issued, the military is on standby. According to The Wall Street Journal, two carrier groups, long-range bombers, and multiple destroyers are positioned across the Gulf and Eastern Mediterranean, awaiting final instructions.

Trump told reporters: “They had their chance. They didn’t take it. We’ll see what happens.” Russia, meanwhile, issued a stark warning: “We are millimeters from nuclear catastrophe.” Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov offered to mediate — the Trump administration rejected the offer.

In Tehran, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed “all-out war” if the U.S. joins Israel’s bombing campaign. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard raised its military alert nationwide, warned of targeting U.S. bases in Qatar, Bahrain, and Jordan, and reportedly activated cyber and missile operations.

U.S. Greenlights Action Amid Ultimatum Over Iran’s Nuclear Program

Trump’s approval of the strike plan came after an ultimatum demanding Iran’s “unconditional surrender” on its nuclear program. In a typical all-caps social media post, Trump declared America’s patience had “run out.” He told reporters, “I may do it, I may not do it… Nobody knows what I’m going to do.”

Iran reportedly floated the idea of sending envoys to Washington for eleventh-hour talks. Trump dismissed it: “It may be too late to be talking.” Khamenei responded forcefully, declaring: “This nation will never surrender.”

Within hours, Iran launched hypersonic missile strikes at Israeli targets, escalating the conflict that erupted when Israel struck military and nuclear-linked facilities in Tehran last week. Israeli officials say those attacks targeted uranium enrichment facilities and internal security hubs. Iran’s retaliation reached deep into Israeli territory — proof they won’t cave under pressure.

The U.N. Secretary-General warned that any further escalation could lead to “enormous consequences”. But Trump’s inner circle remains divided. Far-right MAGA allies like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson have publicly warned against another Middle East war. Even conspiracy theorist Alex Jones turned on Trump, likening him to George W. Bush.

Trump dismissed it all, saying: “My supporters are more in love with me today… than they were at election time.”

Israel’s Regional Escalation — and America’s Bottomless Loyalty

Israel isn’t just bombing Iran. It’s simultaneously fighting in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen — hitting Iranian proxies and allies on every front. Israeli jets have struck Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, launched operations in Syria, and targeted Houthi drones in Yemen. It’s the biggest regional mobilization in years.

But the global reaction has been wildly lopsided. While much of the world sees a pattern — that Israel starts or escalates conflict — the U.S. stands by unconditionally. Even as Israel faces accusations of genocide in Gaza, both the Trump and Biden camps maintain “ironclad” support. American weapons, intelligence, and diplomacy are all behind Israel.

An Al Jazeera analysis put it bluntly: “Washington’s backing of the genocide Israel is conducting has eroded its international authority.” Even European nations and Global South leaders have condemned Israeli airstrikes on Iranian cities and Gazan civilians. Still — no one stops it.

Why? One word: Samson.

The Samson Option — Why No One Tells Israel “No”

Israel’s “Samson Option” is its doomsday doctrine. The idea: if Israel ever faces existential defeat, it will nuke its enemies — and maybe others. Like Samson collapsing the temple on himself and his captors, Israel’s policy is simple: “If we go down, we take the world down with us.”

While Israel has never officially acknowledged its nuclear arsenal, experts estimate it has 90–400 nuclear warheads and can strike anywhere in the Middle East — or Europe. Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld famously said:

“We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.”

That threat silences global leaders. No one wants to push too hard — not over Gaza, not over Iran. The fear is real. And Netanyahu knows it.

As one former U.S. diplomat said privately:

“The Samson Option castrated the West.”

Nuclear Double Standards: Iran vs. Israel

Let’s lay it bare:

• Iran has no nukes.

• Iran signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

• Iran allows inspections.

• Israel has nuclear weapons, refuses inspections, and never signed the NPT.

Yet Iran gets bombed. Sanctioned. Demonized.

Israel? Backed. Armed. Praised.

And let’s not forget: Netanyahu has been “crying wolf” about Iran’s nukes for 30 years.

• In 1992, he said Iran was “3 to 5 years away.”

• In 1996, it was “extremely close.”

• In 2009: “Just two years.”

• In 2012, he brought a cartoon bomb to the UN.

• It’s now 2025. Still no Iranian bomb.

U.S. intelligence and Israeli intelligence both know: Iran’s nuclear program is not weapons-grade. The head of U.S. Intelligence in 2025 confirmed Iran is not building a bomb. But Israel’s missiles destroyed Iran’s nuclear research centers anyway.

And the world let them.

What History Says — Who’s Really the Threat?

Let’s clear up the myths:

• Iran didn’t assassinate JFK. Israel is the only nation connected to conspiracy theories about it — because JFK opposed Israel’s secret nuclear program.

• Iran didn’t bomb the USS Liberty. Israel did. They killed 34 U.S. sailors.

• Iran didn’t do 9/11. But five Israeli nationals were arrested for celebrating the attacks in New Jersey — suspected of being Mossad. They were deported quietly.

Yet somehow, Iran is always “the threat.”

The country that hasn’t nuked anyone. That didn’t kill our sailors. That didn’t spy on us like Israel has — repeatedly.

Israel’s track record includes weapons theft, unauthorized surveillance, and false flag operations. And still, they’re treated as our “greatest ally.”

A New Global Line Is Being Drawn

As Trump pushes America to the brink of war, the world is watching — and realigning:

• Russia has condemned the U.S. and Israel, offered to protect Iran.

• China has warned against any attack and supported Iran’s right to defend itself.

• Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are signaling alignment with Iran over Israel, for the first time in decades.

This is no longer just about Gaza or uranium. This is a global standoff — a new Cold War. America and Israel on one side. Iran, Russia, China, and the Global South on the other.

The Clock Is Ticking

Civilians are sheltering. Diplomats are scrambling.

Trump is stalling — or baiting.

Iran won’t surrender.

Israel won’t stop.

And the fuse is burning.

The next 48 hours could ignite something irreversible.

And if we let it, history will ask:

“Why did the world let the people without nukes get bombed — while shielding the ones who already had them?”
