As US attacks on Iran continue, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform in the dead of night to menace the country further with a threat that he will ramp up the destruction.

Hours after the president announced that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was dead after the initial attack, the new leadership of the country announced it would respond in kind to continued attacks which set the US president off.

One of President Donald Trump's fiercest loyalists appeared to play a key part in burying the administration's latest scandal, according to two experts.

Last week, it was reported that Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer's husband, Shawn DeRemer, had been barred from the agency's office in Washington, D.C., after he was accused of sexually assaulting a female employee. That step is extraordinary in and of itself, but even more so considering that DeRemer has not been charged with a crime.

A military expert flagged the "most troubling" part of President Donald Trump's decision to coordinate an attack on Iran with Israel on Saturday.

Mark Hertling, retired commander of the U.S. Army Europe, argued in a new article for The Bulwark that Trump's "campaign" to bomb Iran's ballistic and nuclear missile facilities has an "apparent gap between strategy and action." That makes it hard for Trump's domestic and international allies to line up behind the decision, he added.

President Donald Trump may have been led to strike Iran alongside Israel by an "unusual pair" of allies, a new report revealed.

The Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing four sources familiar with the matter, that Trump's decision to conduct a series of strikes against Iran's ballistic and nuclear missile facilities came at the behest of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who had been lobbying for the strikes for weeks, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The U.S. and Iranian Ambassadors to the United Nations squared off during an emergency meeting on Saturday.

The U.N Security Council held an emergency meeting to discuss the U.S. and Israel's coordinated attack against Iran. Reports indicate Israel bombed multiple sites where Iran's political and military leadership were located, which killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the dictator who had ruled the country since 1989. The U.S struck multiple Iranian ballistic and nuclear missile sites, according to reports.

President Donald Trump was bashed on Saturday after photos emerged of the "blanket fort" at his Mar-a-Lago estate that he used as a Situation Room to monitor the strikes in Iran.

The White House posted a photo of Trump alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of Personnel Dan Scavino, and other administration officials on its X account on Saturday evening. The photo shows a makeshift room surrounded by black curtains and multiple maps of the region.

Republicans in Congress will return next week to face a "major test of loyalty" after President Donald Trump's most recent "slap in the face," a new report revealed.

CNN reported on Saturday that Congress will formally debate and vote on potential military conflict with Iran this week, following Trump's decision to join Israel in bombing multiple sites across the country early Saturday morning. Israel struck multiple sites where Iran's political and military leadership were located, while the U.S. attacked the country's ballistic and nuclear missile facilities.

President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that the strikes the U.S. and Israel coordinated against Iran will continue throughout the week until peace is achieved.

Early Saturday morning, the U.S. and Israel struck multiple sites across Iran. Israel struck sites where the country's military and political leadership were located, which killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the dictator who has ruled the country since 1989. The U.S. struck Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile facilities, even though Trump previously claimed those sites were "totally obliterated" during a similar strike last year.

A legal expert flagged a "cynical" reason why President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. to coordinate strikes against Iran on early Saturday morning.

Jack Goldsmith, a law professor at Harvard University, argued in a new Substack essay on Saturday that Trump's decision to strike Iran alongside Israel came down to a handful of factors. One of the most important is that "there are no effective legal limitations within the executive branch" that would prevent Trump from ordering the strikes. At the same time, Congress has largely ceded its authority to hold Trump accountable for such actions, he argued.

President Donald Trump's goals for the U.S.-assisted strike on Iran on Saturday rely on a "fantasy" situation, and could unleash "utter anarchy and chaos" across the region, according to one analysis.

Early Saturday morning, the U.S. coordinated strikes with Israel against multiple high-profile targets in Iran. Israel struck multiple sites where the country's political and military leadership, which killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the dictator who ruled the country since 1989. The U.S. struck multiple Iranian nuclear facilities even though Trump previously declared the sites were "totally obliterated" during a similar bombing campaign last year.

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was confirmed dead on Saturday after the U.S. and Israel coordinated attacks against the country, according to reports.

Khameini, 86, had led Iran for more than 35 years following the death of revolutionary founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989. His death marks a major blow for the country and sets off an immediate succession crisis in the country.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) lashed out at his former GOP House colleague Saturday after being confronted on CNN with the considerable MAGA opposition to the Trump administration’s unprecedented attack on Iran earlier in the day.

That colleague was former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who spent a considerable amount of time Saturday morning condemning President Donald Trump for having authorized the strikes on Iran, strikes that have sparked fears of a wider war, economic crises and untold civilian casualties.

The Trump administration’s attack on Iran Saturday morning has prompted Tehran to suspend all travel through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically vital shipping channel through which around a fifth of the world’s oil trade passes through regularly, sparking fears of an impending economic crisis in the United States and the world at large.

“The [Strait] of Hormuz is closed. Oil tankers are clogged up,” wrote Maram Susli, a Syrian-born political commentator and analyst, to their nearly 540,000 followers on X. “The price of everything is going to skyrocket. You can thank [President Donald] Trump and Israel.”
