YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe US and Israel began striking targets across Iran, with President Donald Trump urging Iranians to overthrow the government in a conflict that threatens to spiral across the oil-rich Middle East.
“The hour for your freedom is at hand,” Trump said, addressing Iranians in a video posted on Truth Social on Saturday. “When we’re finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations.”
The military campaign could prove momentous for Trump, risking a drawn-out regional war that leads to a surge in energy prices and American casualties ahead of mid-term elections later this year. Iran quickly responded by firing missiles on Israel and US bases around the region, and countries in the Persian Gulf closed their airspace.
Israel’s military said the campaign would target “dozens of military targets,” and Iran reported strikes on defensive and civilian sites. Several large explosions were reported in the capital, Tehran.
For details, David Gura and Christina Ruffini speak to Bloomberg's Joumanna Bercetche and Ethan Bronner.
