On a day he described as complex for the White House, journalist Jesús Esquivel reported that the Donald Trump administration will send its officials to the Capitol to explain to federal legislators the reasons for starting the war against Iran without consulting the legislative power, as established by the U.S. Constitution.

Tawil stated that the Israeli-American attack occurred under false pretenses. He recalled that the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Pentagon, General Dan Caine, indicated that the possibility of sending ground troops to Iran remains "latent" to achieve the objectives that, according to the Trump government, motivated the start of the offensive. In that context, he also mentioned the statements of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who affirmed to the media that "the United States had no alternative but to launch the attack after learning that the government of Israel was going to initiate this military conflict." He emphasized that in recent hours, different versions have emerged about the motives for the conflict. "It is based again on a lie": Tawil questions the arguments of the attack against Iran. Researcher at the Center for International Studies of CEI-Colmex, Marta Tawil, warned that the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran has entered a direct and regional phase, marked by statements that, she said, increase uncertainty. "The recent statements by President Donald Trump that the war could last for weeks are terrifying, and also, by the way, threats to Lebanon about the hell that awaits it," she said, referring to the opening of a new front in the region. The specialist emphasized that the confrontation did not begin a few days ago, but is a rivalry that "has developed in the shadows for decades" between Israel and Iran. She indicated that it is "based again on a lie," first about the imminence of Iran having nuclear weapons — a statement she pointed out Israel has repeated since 1996 — and then about the range of Iranian missiles. Today, the French Minister of the Economy stated that there is no risk of a shortage of gas or gasoline in the short term.
