The Trump administration defends its decision to hit three nuclear targets in Iran over the weekend. US officials say strikes, which were carried out without approval from the congress and without notifying the main democratic legislators, were intended to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. The decision of the United States to intervene has occurred a little more than a week after Israel launched a series of strikes on Iran. US officials say that American strikes have devastated Iran’s nuclear program, but independent experts analyzing satellite imagery say that it is far from destroyed. Here are four points to remember American air strikes on Iran.

- 🎧 Democrats were very critical of strikes, while most Republicans supported the presidentThe DEEPA Shivaram of NPR tells First. Some Republicans said that the White House’s decision was unconstitutional because it was the Congress, not the president, who has the power to approve the use of force. A survey of public opinion before the United States strike on Iran shows that most Americans think that the US military should not get involved in the conflict. Trump, who campaigned on the United States, not getting involved in more foreign wars, raised the idea on social networks that there could be a change of diet in Iran, which could potentially involve the United States.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday that Israel would not be trained in an attrition warShe did not end the conflict until her goals were achieved. Israel wants to degrade Iranian missiles and the nuclear program.
- 🎧 Hadeel Al-Shalchi of NPR, which is in Tel Aviv, says that Iran’s first decision after the United States bombed its nuclear sites were to pull missiles to Israelthat she was able to record at her house. Al-Shalchi visited the rich district of Ramat Aviv, where one of the missiles struck and heard the community. She says that people there are massively in favor of war, saying that Iran “has been an existential threat to Israel with its nuclear program for decades and that Israel had to do something.” Fear in Israel is that war will long lead to routine fire with Iran.
Iran is now considering how he wants to respond to the American attack on his nuclear programAnd how it could do this. The Iranian revolution guards have published a video overnight saying that the United States would face consequences and will end with a message saying that the United States “can start this war, but we will be those who end it.”
- 🎧 Iran has a range of options with regard to the Ringans against the United StatesIn particular by carrying out a cyber attack and disturbing the expedition of oil to the Gulf, known as Greg Myre of NPR. Iran is in a very difficult position because it is already at the end of the battle with Israel. If Iran does not respond to the United States, it will seem weak. But if he responds, Iran could face a greater blow in the United States
