💣 Trump’s War Math: Pentagon Hits Missiles, Israel Hits the Regime The U.S.–Israel attack on Iran now has a declared political goal: regime change. The Pentagon says its forces have struck Iranian missile sites, air defenses, and IRGC command-and-control hubs, while Israeli jets go after what officials describe as “regime sites” — including top commanders at Iran’s main intelligence agency, a move that reportedly triggered panic inside the security apparatus. Trump has proclaimed the start of “major combat operations” and told The Washington Post his objective is “freedom for the people” of Iran, framing a multi‑theater air campaign as a liberation project. Netanyahu says the joint operation will last “as long as needed,” with people familiar with the planning describing a division of labor: U.S. strikes focused on military capability, Israeli strikes focused on the political and intelligence nervous system of the state. Tehran’s response has already gone regional. Iran has launched missiles at Israel and at least seven Arab states; the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait confirm hits, while Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan and Qatar say they intercepted incoming fire. Israel so far reports only light injuries, but a luxury hotel in Dubai was hit — a reminder that this isn’t a neatly contained “surgical” conflict but a live test of how much escalation global markets, Gulf monarchies and Israel’s own public are willing to absorb for Trump’s latest promise of “freedom” from 30,000 feet. #Iran#Israel#Trump#Netanyahu#missiles#regimeChange#USpolitics 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
