On February 28 2026, the United States dropped bombs on Iran and killed the Iran leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It was not just the US President, Donald Trump’s, idea but also Israel’s Prime Minister. The conference between them lasted up to three hours. After this, they came to the conclusion that the US military will take actions.
Experts at Penn Wharton estimate about 65 billion dollars will go into this war. Many question if this war is necessary. Many US citizens along the many forms of social media such as Tiktok, Twitter, Instagram have said this war could spark the next world war. Many have said that Trump took the US to war and the US did not want to go to war.
Michael Merryman-Lotze the Director of American Friends Service Committee states “This war is not about protecting human rights.”
Andrew Bernard, senior fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center, said that the war is escalating and heading way past the Middle East. China is involved with the Middle East due to the brokered agreement with Iran and Saudi Arabia made in march 2023. This agreement was set to stop tension between the three countries. People worry if the US goes too far, China might align with Iran, which is at its weakest right now.
