Tehran’s residents have nowhere to go despite Trump threat​

Reporting from Doha, Qatar
It’s very alarming, especially given the timing, that this warning comes from the US president.
It’s the middle of the night for the people in Tehran, and most of them are asleep. Second, even if they were aware of this warning, where are they supposed to go?
Iran has no bomb shelters. It is not prepared for what is happening right now.
This was an unthinkable situation for most Iranians. They haven’t seen bombs dropping on Tehran since the Iran-Iraq War, and that ended 37 years ago. So there is an entire generation of Iranians that have never seen this kind of conflict, and they’re absolutely petrified, and understandably so. It came as very much a surprise to the entire nation of nearly 90 million people.
So the options for the general public are very limited.
I think the intent is to really create fear and panic by the US president to try and pressure the Iranian officials to agree to a deal, whatever deal he has in mind.

Trump to hold meeting with NSC as US sends additional forces to Middle East​


There are reports by US media that Donald Trump has requested the National Security Council to convene in the situation room as he returns early from the G7 summit in Canada.
Trump’s early departure on Monday evening from the G7 came as US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said earlier in the day that he had ordered the deployment of additional US military capabilities to the Middle East.
Hegseth did not disclose the type or size of the US force that would be sent to the region. But the Reuters news agency reported the movement of a large number of US military refuelling aircraft and an aircraft carrier to the Middle East.
The aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz, was reported to be leaving the Southeast Asia region after cancelling a scheduled visit to Vietnam and was tracked heading through the Malacca Strait towards the Indian Ocean, according to Marine Traffic, a ship-tracking site.

Trump just wants to ask NSC members which dipping sauces they like the best at KFC.

That nikka doesn't know what he's talking about.
