The tensions between Iran and the United States continue to escalate as US Senator Lindsey Graham warns that the next target could be Cuba. In an interview with American media, Senator Graham stated that President Donald Trump is considering Cuba as the next target following missile strikes on Iran. He emphasized that the communist regime in Cuba will soon come to an end and that its days are numbered.
Graham claimed that everyone was talking about Maduro, but President Trump had him arrested. In response, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh stated that the US and Israel have imposed an unlawful war on Iran, and that Iran did not start the war.
General Dan Crenshaw stated that it will take time to estimate the losses, and the operation against Iran is complex, dangerous, and far from being over. The threats are still rising, and Iran’s nuclear negotiations are not on the agenda. An Israeli military statement said that the attack was carried out during the 10th strike sortie of the Air Force, led by security intelligence and Mossad.
Three US officials spoke to a British news agency, stating that the Iranian warship was targeted by the US military in the waters off Sri Lanka. According to an Israeli media report, a New York Times report stated that officials from Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence indicated to the CIA that they were willing to negotiate a ceasefire.
The wreckage of the missiles landed in a Turkish town near the Mediterranean Sea. No casualties were reported. The Turkish Ministry of Defense stated that Turkey’s air defense system destroyed 121 drones in the air, with 8 drones crashing on the territory of the state.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stated that no damage was done to Iran’s nuclear facilities. The Iranian news agency reported that a statement on the time of Ayatollah Khamenei’s mourning ceremony would be announced later, due to administrative issues.
In a bizarre move, US President Donald Trump stated that he wouldn’t care if Iran participates in the 2026 World Cup. Iranian news agencies reported that the Iranian warship, Al Dina, was targeted by US forces. After the missile strike, a fire broke out, causing panic in the area. Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz stated that his forces are ready to target any successor to Ayatollah Khamenei.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated that the Israeli-US attack will not lead to a fair world order or increase salaries. He emphasized that the attack is a clear violation of international law.
