2:30Now PlayingIsrael presses its attacks on Iran as the White House talks of ceasefires
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe status of any ceasefire negotiations between the U.S. and Iran remains unclear, but the White House says productive talks continue. Meanwhile, thousands of U.S. paratroopers and marines are headed to the Middle East as President Trump weighs whether to seize Kharg Island, home to Iran’s main oil processing facility. Iran has warned it would launch retaliatory strikes against energy infrastructures in the region if the island is attacked, which would send global energy prices soaring.
Despite talks of ceasefires, Israel’s strikes on Iran continue, with two military officials telling NPR they’re hoping for weeks more of war in Iran. Someone briefed on the operation not authorized to speak publicly tells NPR the Israeli military is speeding up its targeting in Iran right now over the next 48 hours, trying to hit as many Iranian arms factories as it can in case a ceasefire is declared.
