Chapter 526 Launch
"Prepare for the press conference immediately. I want to speak in person!"

The American president gritted his teeth, suppressing the turmoil of rage and anxiety in his heart, and gave orders to his trembling staff beside him.

Just a few hours later, the White House gate was crowded with reporters from all over the world.

At the press conference, the spotlights kept flashing, so bright that people could hardly open their eyes.

The president was wearing a neatly ironed suit without a single wrinkle.

With a solemn expression, he walked up to the podium with heavy steps, cleared his throat, and began a high-sounding speech.

He spoke eloquently and incessantly about the so-called "outstanding contributions" that the United States has made to world peace over the years.

Suddenly, the president changed the subject, his expression became serious, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.

"We strongly urge both the Palestinian and Israeli sides to remain calm and immediately cease all violent clashes. We all know that peace and stability in the Middle East is crucial to global security and cannot be compromised."

He paused briefly, took a deep breath, and then raised his voice.

"Here, I must solemnly and solemnly declare that the United States is Israel's most steadfast supporter. If the situation requires, we will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue exploded. The reporters were stunned and looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.

"Mr. President, did you just say that nuclear weapons would be used?"

An experienced senior reporter stood up suddenly, his voice trembling slightly with shock, his eyes full of disbelief.

In today's era when the world is desperately trying to avoid nuclear conflict, it is hard to accept that an American leader would make such dangerous remarks so bluntly.

"Yes, I'm talking about using nuclear weapons."

The president responded briefly and coldly, then turned around and strode into the White House without looking back, ignoring the flood of questions from the reporters below the stage.

When the reporters saw this, they all stood up, stretched out their microphones and recorders, and shouted desperately in the direction the president was leaving, but the president's figure soon disappeared behind the heavy door of the White House.

The news quickly spread to every corner of the world.

The headlines of major media outlets were suddenly dominated by related news.

Nuclear Crisis Breaks Out!

World War III is Coming

Humanity is about to perish!!

Such sensational headlines are everywhere.

On social media, people were completely outraged. Everyone expressed their inner concerns and fears online. All kinds of speculations and discussions swept across the Internet like a storm. Everyone was worried that the world was really going to be in chaos.

At the same time, military experts and political scientists from around the world also held an emergency seminar to engage in heated discussions on whether the United States would actually use nuclear weapons.

Some experts believe that the United States is just bluffing and wants to scare Iran through nuclear threats in order to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting.

After all, if nuclear weapons are really used, the nuclear war it triggers will be a global disaster, and the United States itself will not have an easy time by then.

Other experts, however, have a different view. They point out that given the current political situation in the United States, the president faces enormous pressure and may actually make such a crazy move to protect his own interests and hegemony. After all, in the political game, anything can happen. Even more worrying is that the Doomsday Clock, a symbol of global security, has also been moved to 11:59:50.

The hands of the Doomsday Clock are only ten seconds away from midnight, which symbolizes the end of the world. This means that mankind is on the brink of unprecedented danger. The global situation is becoming increasingly tense. No one can predict what the future will be like. The whole world seems to be hanging on a thin thread.

The world's eyes are focused on Iran like a searchlight. When the United States openly and blatantly made the threatening statement of using nuclear weapons, Iran seems to have no choice but to retreat.

After all, the terrifying power of nuclear weapons and the catastrophic consequences they bring are a heavy price that no country can bear.

The fear derived from nuclear weapons, like a huge shadow, hangs heavily over the international community, making most countries feel fearful and deterred.

However, Iran did not choose to compromise and surrender as everyone expected, but instead sent troops as planned.

The massive army advanced towards the Israeli border.

Not only that, Iran, relying on its profound influence and extensive connections in the Middle East, quickly united with many other Islamic countries to form a powerful coalition whose strength should not be underestimated.

Obviously, Iran and its coalition forces must have some unknown support behind them, which is why they are so confident.

At this moment, in the office of the White House filled with a solemn and depressing atmosphere, the American president's brows were twisted into a knot, and anxiety spread wildly in his heart like a vine.

The agent next to him had a stern face and a cold expression, holding a mysterious box tightly in his hands.

The box contains the key device for launching nuclear weapons.

With just one order from the president, a nuclear disaster that could completely rewrite the course of human history could erupt in an instant.

"Just one more warning to Iran to show we're not kidding."

The president gritted his teeth, his voice low and hoarse, as if the words were squeezed out from between his teeth.

There was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Iran would change its mind at the last moment.

Time passed mercilessly, but there was still no response from Iran.

The entire White House fell into a deathly silence, and the air seemed to be frozen by an invisible force.

The muscles on the president's face twitched slightly.

After a long moment, he nodded slowly.

The agent was instructed to carefully place the box on the table.

The president turned the key with slightly trembling hands and carefully checked the launch order.

Finally, he stretched out his index finger and slowly pressed the red button that symbolized destruction.

A huge missile silo opened, gradually revealing the terrifying and deadly weapons hidden deep underground.

An intercontinental missile stands in it.
In an instant, a blazing flame suddenly spurted out from the tail of the missile, followed by a deafening roar that resounded through the sky.

The powerful thrust made this intercontinental missile break through the layers of clouds like an arrow shot from a bow and rush towards the distance.
