বাংলাUS President Donald Trump has postponed his planned military strikes on Iran for five days. This decision came after a 48-hour ultimatum regarding the Hormuz Strait blockade expired recently. Trump claimed that productive discussions are happening between the two nations to find a peaceful solution. However, the global energy market remains highly volatile due to this ongoing regional confrontation.
Iran Rejects US Claims of Fruitful Discussions
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf strongly rejected Trump’s claims of any diplomatic talks. He stated that the US is spreading false news to control the crashing oil markets. Iran demands full punishment for the aggressors and refuses to back down from its current military stance. The leadership remains united with their Supreme Leader and the Iranian people during this crisis.
Escalation of Missile Attacks and Casualties
Despite the talk of postponement, Iran launched multiple waves of missiles at Israel on Monday night. Cities like Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Nazareth suffered significant structural damage from these strikes. The Israeli Health Ministry reported that over 4,800 people have been injured so far. Meanwhile, Israeli forces hit fifty targets inside Iran, focusing mainly on missile launch sites.
Global Impact and Military Movements in the Middle East
The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier has returned to a naval base in Greece. It had been operating in the Middle East but faced a fire incident recently. This movement coincides with fluctuating oil prices, which briefly dropped before rising back to 103 dollars per barrel. Trump suggested that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth initially pushed for military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
New Appointments and Lebanon Front Crisis
Iran has appointed Mohammad Baqer Zulqadr as the new head of the Supreme National Security Council. This change happens as the war enters its 25th day with increasing intensity in Lebanon. Israeli strikes have displaced nearly one million people in Lebanon, causing a massive humanitarian disaster. The expulsion of the Iranian ambassador from Beirut further complicates the fragile diplomatic situation in the region.
