Disaster rained for the seventh consecutive night: America’s all-round action
The script of this bloody game was written in the early hours of Saturday, when the US Army entered Iran and carried out a massive surgical strike. This was the seventh consecutive night when American fighter planes and missiles targeted Iran’s military system. According to the US military’s claims, they had completely destroyed Iran’s surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons warehouses and its maritime capabilities. America’s aim was to break the backbone of Iran, but what happened in response has increased the Pentagon’s concerns.
Middle East ignites in the fire of revenge: simultaneous attack on five countries
Frustrated by this all-round attack by America, Tehran adopted a very aggressive counter strategy. Iran fired ballistic missiles simultaneously targeting not only Jordan but also US military bases located in Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The most severe devastation in these attacks on Saturday was seen in Kuwait. Iranian drones targeted a major water desalination plant and a major oil facility in Kuwait, causing infrastructure collapse there.
These latest developments and the aggressive statements issued by both sides have destroyed the hopes of any diplomatic or peaceful solution in the Middle East for the time being. The world is now trembling with the fear that this conflict might take the form of a full-scale global war.
