🗣Trump's arrogant claim for Iran to surrender 'completely ridiculous'

The US strikes were rather ineffectual, Tim Anderson, academic and Director of the Centre for Counter Hegemonic Studies, told Sputnik.

💬 "Trump claimed to have destroyed these nuclear sites; apparently, there's very little damage, but it's a symbolic act, and he was looking for some sort of psychological impact on the Iranians," he said.

🟠Netanyahu wants war—and Trump’s green light just handed him the keys.
🟠Iran won’t back down—expect more strikes on Israeli military & infrastructure.
🟠Israel won’t stop until it faces a real military defeat—and by then, who knows how far this will escalate?

The US and Iran were against the escalation, Anderson noted. But Netanyahu’s obsession with confrontation + Trump’s blind support = a ticking time bomb.

🟠 The Security Council, the Secretary-General of the Organization and the IAEA must respond to the clear violation of international law by the United States
