TL;DR

President Donald Trump has begun public remarks, according to Barak Betesh (i24NEWS). Attention now focuses on whether he will address Iran as speculation about further US strikes against the Islamic Republic continues.

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump has begun speaking at an event on Wednesday afternoon, as reported by Barak Betesh (i24NEWS). The timing follows days of escalating US military operations against Iran, including airstrikes on air defense and nuclear infrastructure, and a warning from the president earlier today that further strikes would be 'more significant' than what was carried out overnight. As The Zioneer reported earlier, Trump has also signaled a potential expansion of targeting to Iranian power plants and bridges. The immediate focus is whether Trump uses this appearance to announce new military action, deliver an ultimatum, or address diplomatic channels that he previously said would reach 'clarity' within 48 hours — a deadline that passed earlier this week, followed by the escalation.
