Trump bombs Iran: Huge escalation of war, making nuclear weapons more likely
Posted on June 23rd, 2025
Donald Trump ordered direct US airstrikes on Iran, after helping Israel start a war of aggression. Tehran already said it would retaliate against US targets. There are more than 40,000 US troops in West Asia (the Middle East), and dozens of military bases, which could be hit. US intelligence agencies previously said Iran was not developing nuclear weapons, but this US war will now actually make them likely. Ben Norton explains.
