Longtime CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer went on air Saturday morning following the U.S. and Israel launching a significant assault on Iran, and the primary phrases out of his mouth have been ominous.
“Seems like that is gonna escalate massive time within the coming hours, and days, for that matter,” Blitzer stated moments after becoming a member of “First of All with Victor Blackwell” at around 8 a.m. Saturday.
Blitzer’s assertion got here as Blackwell was recapping Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel and U.S. army websites throughout the area. Blackwell famous that Iran Supreme Chief Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had “promised an expanded regional response” within the occasion of a strike, and “we’re now seeing it.”
Trump introduced at 2:30 a.m. Saturday via Truth Social that the strikes had occurred, urging the Iranian public to stand up in opposition to its management and “seize management of your future.” Iranian state media stated later that day that at least 201 people had been killed and greater than 700 injured within the assaults.
