President Trump has launched the United States into the spiraling Israel-Iran war, ordering strikes on the latter Middle Eastern country in the middle of the night Saturday in an attempt to crush its nuclear program.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump announced on Truth Social just before 8 p.m. ET, 3:30 a.m. Iran time.

The president’s move to get the US involved in Israel’s military operations — now in their second week after large-scale airstrikes on June 13 took out 20 of Iran’s senior military leaders — comes just days after Iran warned that a US strike would trigger an “all-out war.”

A top adviser to Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran “must launch missile strikes” against US Navy ships in response to President Trump’s decision to bomb nuclear facilities in the Islamic Republic Saturday.

“Following America’s attack on the Fordow nuclear installation, it is now our turn,” warned Hossein Shariatmadari, the editor-in-chief of the Kayhan newspaper, according to CNN.

“Without hesitation or delay, as a first step we must launch missile strikes on the American naval fleet based in Bahrain and simultaneously close the Strait of Hormuz to American, British, German, and French shipping,” read a quote attributed to Shariatmadari, posted on Kayhan’s Telegram channel.

Shariatmadari is well-known in Iran and has previously identified himself as Khamenei’s “representative,” according to CNN. Kayhan is widely considered the publication closest to the theocratic regime.

Iran is at the point that they are out of bullets and can only throw their gun at Superman.
