Guerre en Iran

The transcript details a significant escalation in rhetoric and potential military action concerning Iran. The United States, under President Trump, is issuing increasingly aggressive threats, including the destruction of Iranian infrastructure. Trump declared that "an entire civilization will die tonight, never to be reborn," and stated that "all bridges in Iran will be destroyed, all power plants in Iran will be out of service." He specified a goal of total demolition by midnight, suggesting it could be achieved within four hours. These threats are accompanied by intensified strikes, particularly on the strategic Kharg Island, targeting bridges, highways, and railways. Israel is reportedly conducting these bombings and has issued warnings to Iranians against train travel. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated they are destroying installations and eliminating agents, asserting that Iran is weaker than ever, while Israel is stronger. In response, Iranian authorities have called on their population to protect infrastructure, with reports of civilians forming human shields on bridges. Iran has also issued a warning that the US and its allies will be deprived of oil and gas from the region for years, causing concern among Gulf states close to the US about potential retaliation. The international community is expressing apprehension. The United Nations has emphasized the urgency of protecting civilian populations, reminding parties that even if civilian infrastructure is considered a military objective, international humanitarian law prohibits attacks that risk excessive collateral damage. The specter of nuclear weapon use has also been raised. While the White House denied the possibility of using a nuclear weapon in Iran, some analysts suggest this denial is intended to instill fear and that the mere mention of "all options" can be interpreted as a threat. There is concern that such a move would have no strategic sense against Iran's current military regime and would signify the beginning of humanity's destruction. The statement by J.D. Vance about reserving "other weapons" and not having used "all our means" reportedly caused panic. Despite Trump's aggressive declarations, there is a hope among some military analysts that American and Israeli military personnel will not employ the same methods as Russian forces, particularly concerning targeting. The complexity of targeting is acknowledged, with the possibility of human decision-making even in automated systems. The transcript also notes that "collateral damage" is already occurring, with schools and universities, like Sharif University and Iran Polytechnic, being hit. The daily reality for Iranians is described as war, with shattered windows and widespread disruption. The Iranian regime is reportedly using its population as human shields, a tactic described as propaganda and a communication war.
