US government changes course: “This is not a war”
The war in the Middle East is spreading. Global oil and gas markets are under severe strain and numerous civilian infrastructures have been damaged. In the evening, a drone struck near the US consulate in Dubai – and a new Ayatollah was apparently appointed in Iran. The most important news of the day in the krone.at review.
The US and Israel continue to attack targets in Iran. The Islamist leadership in Tehran has been hit hard, but is apparently still functional and is responding with heavy counterstrikes throughout the region.
The most important news in brief:
- US President Trump has described his ownworst-case scenario for Iran: "I guess the worst case would be if we do that and then someone takes over who is just as bad as the previous one, right?" Most of his candidates are "already dead," he said.
- Washington is giving different reasons for Operation "Epic Wrath" almost every hour. Now there is also a dispute over terminology. The White House now wants the conflagration to be officially understood as "major combat operations" – even though Trump had repeatedly spoken of a war.
- On Wednesday, the first repatriation flight from the crisis region for Austrians abroad and stranded Austrian tourists is scheduled to take place.
According to Iranian exile media, the Council of Experts hasappointed Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the slain dictator, asthe new Supreme Leader . Official confirmation of this has not yet been received.
- Oil and gas prices are risingfor the third day in a row. Experts do not expect the surge to end anytime soon. Trump now wants to secure shipping through his own navy. Stock markets around the world are in a tailspin.
The most important events of Tuesday:
The US and Israel launched massive air strikes on Iran on Saturday. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other members of the Iranian leadership were killed.
