The United States leadership is "absent" as the world witnesses an uncontrollable whirlwind that could trigger World War III, former President Donald Trump said amid threats of the Iranian response to the Israeli assassination of martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, martyr Ismail Haniyeh, and martyr Abbas Nilforoushan.

On Tuesday, a White House senior official warned that Iran could be preparing to launch a ballistic missile attack at "Israel", affirming that the US was taking defensive measures to defend the occupation. 

"The world is on fire and spiraling out of control. We have no leadership, no one running the country. We have a non-existent president in Joe Biden, and a completely absent vice president, Kamala Harris," Trump said in a press release on Tuesday, adding that neither Harris nor Biden knew what was happening or taking charge of the situation. 

He further stressed that the threat of a global war rages on while the US leadership drags the country to the brink of WWIII. 

The Israeli occupation forces had instructed settlers to rush and remain in bomb shelters, only a few moments before the Iranian response to Israeli aggression began.

The IRGC released a statement following the launch of the response, saying "We have targeted the heart of the occupied territories in response to the assassination of martyrs Haniyeh, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Nilforoushan."

The statement further said, warning "Israel", "If the Zionist regime retaliates to the Iranian operation, it will face violent consequences."

Israeli reports, on the other hand, indicate that somewhere in the ballpark of 300 rockets had been launched from Iran.

The Israeli occupation forces and the Red Alert service indicated that sirens were activated all over "Israel", with settlers being ordered to head to bomb shelters and chaos seen as prevailing in the streets all over occupied Palestine.

According to a New York Times report, the time that the first missile took to strike "Israel" (less than 15 minutes) seems to suggest that ballistic missiles were fired.

In the same context, The Washington Post reported the explosions ultiple waves of sirens and multiple explosions, including a huge boom, could be heard from Tel Aviv. The explosions, at least 20 of them, sound like heavy warheads exploding — very different from the more familiar sound of air defenses intercepting Palestinian rockets.

According to the New York Times, which cited the White House, US President Biden and VP Kamala Harris were following up on the Iranian response against "Israel" from the White House operations room. Biden orders the army to "defend Israel against Iranian strikes and to down the missiles targeting Israel."

The Israeli occupation forces and the Red Alert service indicated that sirens were activated all over "Israel", with settlers being ordered to head to bomb shelters and chaos seen as prevailing in the streets all over occupied Palestine.
