Kotsume Kokkos, who is tired of consecutive midsummer days after looking at a week's forecast, hello.
Well, today I have news that Israel attacked Iran's nuclear-related facilities.
Until last night, President Trump was also reportedly wary of a “large-scale clash” and was urging the evacuation of Americans residing in the region.
And
the United States will not be involved
Israel should restrain itself
as well, he was saying.
Such was the breaking news at that moment.
According to NHK commentators,
“Originally, Iran had said it would retaliate against Israel and the United States if attacked.
However, this time the United States is denying involvement.
It remains unclear whether Iran will believe that and retaliate only against Israel.”
That was the gist of the comment.

There is a fear of intense retaliation by Iran, and in the Middle East where tensions are high, the degree of alert has further increased. Israel is expected to declare a state of emergency for special operations in preparation for retaliation.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said in a video statement, “The military operation will continue for as long as the threat remains eliminated. Israel is facing a重大局面/major turning point in its history.”
According to the U.S. news site Axios, Israel was also carrying out sabotage at Iran’s air defense facilities.
U.S. Secretary of State Rubio stated in a declaration that “the United States is not involved.” The White House announced that a National Security Council meeting will be held on the 13th.
…That is the situation.
In light of the tense Middle East situation, the Nikkei stock average has fallen.
Oil prices may rise, which could impact the global economy.
