Iran is threatening a retaliatory attack against Israel. At least 16 people were killed in the attack in Syria - Iran blames Israel.
US President Joe Biden warned urgently against further escalation in the Middle East conflict. A template for former President Donald Trump to once again emphasize Biden's "incompetence" and to warn of a third world war before the upcoming US elections. Trump, the only remaining Republican in the race for the 2024 US presidential election, spoke at a press conference on the Iran-Israel conflict last Friday (April 12) He described incumbent President Biden as “pretty pathetic” If Trump had remained in office, Iran would not retaliate against Israel, the ex-president claims. “You wouldn’t attack Israel if I were president, I can tell you that,” continued Trump, who is currently facing several criminal charges. Trump justifies his statements by saying that Iran had no money for such attacks during his presidency. It is unclear where the former president got this information. A possible escalation is largely due to Biden's policies.
