The world is staring down a potential abyss as tensions between Israel, Iran, and the United States spiral into open conflict. In my latest report, I explore the rapidly escalating situation in the Middle East, where military strikes, nuclear threats, and global evacuations signal that we may be on the brink of World War III.


Evacuation Orders Raise Alarm Bells

U.S. President Donald Trump has called for the evacuation of Iran’s capital, Tehran—an extraordinary step not even taken at the start of the 2003 Iraq War. India, China, Germany, and Argentina have followed suit, recommending their citizens leave both Iran and Israel. This level of global alert points to imminent danger, possibly nuclear.


Media Under Attack: Iran’s State Broadcaster Bombed

Israel has allegedly launched a deadly airstrike on Iran’s main state television building, killing 18 people live on air. This act, viewed by some as a violation of international law, comes amid Israeli crackdowns on foreign media within its own borders—cutting YouTube livestreams and restricting journalistic access in cities like Hiafa

Direct Strikes on Iran’s Nuclear Program

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed serious damage to Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment facility. Israeli strikes reportedly caused widespread power outages that crippled centrifuge operations. Although Iran denies developing nuclear weapons, U.S. and Israeli intelligence believe these attacks might push Tehran to start building one.

Iran’s Massive Retaliation

Iran has responded with overwhelming force, reportedly launching 380 ballistic missiles in 15 waves of attacks on Israel. Footage shows a Tel Aviv engulfed in flames. U.S. military officials have observed that fewer Israeli air defense systems—like Iron Dome—are intercepting incoming missiles, and there are now signs of system malfunctions.


Nuclear Narrative: Who’s Telling the Truth?

Despite Israeli claims, Iran’s leadership, including its President and Foreign Minister, insists the country is not seeking nuclear weapons. They assert adherence to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and have condemned the pursuit of nuclear arms as unacceptable. Yet Israeli intelligence and even U.S. officials now fear Iran may cross that threshold in response to continued attacks.


Deaths, Assassinations, and Retaliation

Israel claims to have assassinated two top Iranian commanders, aides to Iran’s Supreme Leader. Meanwhile, Iran has executed a Turkish man for allegedly spying for Mossad. Attacks have targeted both military and civilian infrastructure—Israel’s Haifa power plant, Iranian drone facilities, and even the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv have suffered damage.


Israel Accused of Using Schools as Shields

Reports and footage show Israeli soldiers sheltering in schools, raising concerns about the use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes. Critics fear that should these schools be struck, Israel will accuse Iran of targeting civilians—despite the military presence inside.


Political Fallout in the U.S.: Trump vs. Tucker Carlson

The war has created fractures inside the U.S. Trump faces backlash from his own base, with Tucker Carlson openly opposing a new war in the Middle East. Trump, however, remains adamant: “Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.” Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced legislation aimed at preventing the president from launching an “illegal war with Iran.”


American Military Buildup and What Comes Next

U.S. Defense Secretary Peter Higsmith has ordered full military readiness for possible intervention if Trump gives the green light. General Michael E. Kurilla, commander of U.S. Central Command, reportedly supports involvement, though other administration officials push back.

Trump is expected to issue a “final offer” to Iran—but whether that leads to diplomacy or detonations remains to be seen.

Are We Standing on the Edge of World War III?

With mutual strikes, targeted assassinations, nuclear threats, and rising civilian casualties, this conflict could ignite a regional—or even global—war. My mission is to report to you, the viewers, with honesty and urgency.

If this spirals into a full-scale nuclear war, it could truly be the end. We must pray for peace, but prepare for the worst.
