Tehran Airstrikes: Trump Vows No Quick End

0:00On March 10th, massive airstrikes pounded Tehran last night, lighting up the sky with huge explosions from U.S. and Israeli forces. President Trump had promised the Middle East conflict would wrap up very soon, calling it a short-term effort ahead of schedule. But he quickly added that the U.S. has not won enough yet and plans to push further. The operation, now 10 days in, has hit over 5,000 Iranian targets in sunk 50 vessels. Trump claims Iran has no navy, air force, or effective missiles left, with B-52 bombers ready in Britain, if needed. Strikes targeted areas like western Tehran and Karaj, possibly including power centers. Residents in Tehran expressed fear over the new supreme leader, Moshtaba, Kamene, son of the late Ayatollah, who they worry will be just as tough. The war is driving up global petrol prices, energy bills, and mortgage rates, sparking cost of living worries in places like Britain. Stock markets rebounded, though, with a Dow up 200 points after early drops.

Five players from Iran's women's soccer team won asylum in Australia after defying the regime during the Asian Cup. As Trump eyes key remaining targets and vows a safer world soon, the strike's signal no quick end in sight.
