Donald Trump reports “many” Iranian commanders killed in massive attack on Tehran. He shares a video of the explosions, but its authenticity remains disputed.
US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that “many” Iranian military commanders had been killed during a massive attack on the Iranian capital, Tehran. He published the information on his Truth Social platform, where he also published a video allegedly capturing explosions in Tehran. However, Trump did not provide details about the time or circumstances of the attack.
- Donald Trump announced a massive attack on Tehran with numerous commanders dead.
- He published an unverified video of the night explosions on the Truth Social social network.
- The veracity of the video and details of the attack remain unclear and have not been independently confirmed.
- The United States and Israel had previously launched a series of attacks on Iranian targets.
- Iran rejected Trump’s ultimatum and declared readiness to defend state sovereignty.
The video that accompanied his announcement shows nighttime explosions lighting up the Iranian capital. However, Sky News pointed out that the authenticity of the recording could not be immediately verified, as well as the exact time and place of its creation. In his post, Trump called Iran’s military leaders “misled and unreasonable” and claimed that the attack cost them their lives.
Escalation of the conflict
Military tensions in the Middle East escalated after the United States and Israel launched a series of attacks on Iranian targets on February 28. Iran responded with retaliatory strikes on Israeli territory and on facilities in the Persian Gulf countries. Since then, the situation has escalated into an open conflict, which threatens the stability of the entire region.
At the same time, Trump warned Iran on Saturday that if it does not conclude a peace agreement with the United States within 48 hours, Washington will take further steps, which he described as “unleashing hell”. However, Iran’s Central Command rejected these threats, calling them a “hopeless and foolish move” that they say only reflects the nervousness of the US administration.
An ultimatum without result?
In its statement, the Iranian leadership opposed Trump’s ultimatums and emphasized that the country is ready to defend its sovereignty. The tension between the two sides continues to grow, while the international community expresses concern about the possible spread of the conflict to other countries in the region.
