Trump Orders Massive Strike on Iran as CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports Escalating War
CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer stepped up for war coverage Saturday morning, declaring that the joint U.S.-Israel attack on Iran "is going to escalate big time!"
At 2:30 AM Saturday, President Trump posted a video announcement from Mar-a-Lago confirming the United States was attacking Iran and urging the Iranian people to overthrow their oppressive regime.
This is exactly the kind of decisive leadership America needs. While previous administrations cowered before Iran's terrorist regime, Trump is taking direct action to protect American interests and our ally Israel.
Breaking: Multiple Iranian Targets Under Attack
CNN's Jeremy Diamond, reporting from Tel Aviv, confirmed that U.S. and Israeli forces are conducting extraordinary strikes far beyond previous operations. The attacks are targeting Iran's ballistic missile program and, according to Israeli sources, strikes were carried out against Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and other senior Iranian figures.
"This military operation isn't just aimed at diminishing Iran's military and nuclear capabilities, it is very much aimed at creating the conditions for regime change in Iran," Diamond reported.
Iran's Desperate Retaliation Fails
Iran's response has been predictably weak. Despite firing dozens of ballistic missiles at Israel, Israeli military officials report no significant hits. Israel's superior defense systems are intercepting the attacks while American and Israeli forces continue their precision strikes.
Sirens sounded across Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and other Israeli cities as millions took shelter, but the Iron Dome and other defensive systems are proving their worth against Iran's inferior weaponry.
Constitutional Authority in Action
This operation demonstrates presidential leadership at its finest. Trump is using America's constitutional authority to defend our nation and allies against a regime that has terrorized the Middle East for decades.
The strikes are expected to continue for several days, with U.S. officials making clear this isn't just a military operation but a push for regime change in Iran. Finally, an American president willing to finish what needs to be done.
Wolf Blitzer and CNN's team are providing round-the-clock coverage as this historic operation unfolds, marking what could be the beginning of the end for Iran's terrorist regime.
