Very disturbing and shocking news is coming out from the Middle East. The fragile ceasefire that has been going on between Iran and America for some time is now on the verge of breaking completely. Iran, in a very aggressive response to the recent attacks by America, has targeted a major American military base with its deadly missiles and drones. There is news of many American soldiers being seriously injured in this horrific strike. Along with this, two ‘MQ-9 Reaper drones’ of the US Air Force, considered to be the most modern and infallible, have also suffered heavy damage, which has created panic in the American defense camp.

Iran’s powerful army ‘Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) has issued a statement taking responsibility for this attack.

In this attack, the American Army has not only suffered human loss, but it has also suffered a major technical and economic blow. In this attack on the air base, America’s two most reliable and deadly ‘MQ-9 Reaper’ strike drones suffered heavy losses.

The destruction of such expensive and important drones is being considered the biggest loss of this year for the American military power.

Donald Trump’s emergency meeting at White House, discussion ended without any decision

There has been a stir in Washington after this horrific attack. US President Donald Trump held a high-level emergency meeting with national security advisors and military strategists at his official residence ‘White House’ on Friday to discuss this serious situation. In this meeting, there was intense brainstorming on a proposed agreement to extending the period of ceasefire with Iran and reopening of the most important route of oil trade ‘Strait of Hormuz’.

However, even after this marathon and secret room meeting that lasted for almost two hours, President Trump has not yet approved any final and concrete decision. A senior administration official said that the situation is very delicate and America will take its next step only after keeping every aspect in mind.

Iran’s stance is also tough: the agreement has not been finalized yet

On the other hand, Iran has also made it clear that no peace agreement with America has been finalized yet. Just before the White House meeting, President Trump had told the media that he was going to present his “final decision” to the world very soon on this very sensitive issue. But this new and aggressive counterattack by Iran has currently put a halt to the peace talks. The eyes of strategists around the world are now focused on whether America will respond to this missile attack with another major military action or efforts will be made to avert this great war through diplomacy.
