Israel Was Planning Iran Attacks 'For A Very Long Time'

Bloomberg13-06-2025
Israel launched airstrikes across Iran, targeting nuclear facilities and killing senior military commanders, in a major escalation that could spark a broad war in the Middle East. The attacks killed the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the military's chief of staff, and Iran vowed to retaliate against Israel and possibly US assets in the Middle East. The strikes have raised concerns about a broader regional conflict and have already affected the global economy, with oil prices surging and investors seeking safe-haven assets.

New York A pair of safe predictions: The winner of the 2028 Republican presidential nomination will have to negotiate the protean wishes of Donald Trump. And the winner of the Democratic contest will have to confront the party's attraction to socialism and an array of factions that would rather see Democrats lose than compromise: the climate lobby, advocates of open borders and transgenderism, and, above all, the anti-Israel left.
