Trump Claims ‘Big Day’ in Iran

President Donald Trump says it’s been a ‘big day’ in Iran, with ‘many’ strikes carried out in joint U.S.-Israeli operations. He announced ‘major combat operations’ against Iran on February 28, but details are sketchy.

What We Know So Far

So far, Trump’s ‘major combat operations’ seem to be a lot of bluster. The strikes, which he says were ‘massive’, don’t appear to have achieved much. It’s not clear what the goal of these operations was, or what the U.S. and Israel hope to gain from them.

Trump’s fond of talking up his military prowess, but it won’t take long for people to start asking questions. What’s the strategy here? Is this just a distraction from domestic woes? And what’s the human cost of these ‘many’ strikes?
