President Donald Trump and his airstrike orders against Iran got an honest opinion from former NFL quarterback and analyst Robert Griffin III’s wife, Grete Griffin.
Over at Instagram, Grete Griffin shared on her story a news photo stating that several major states in the US are “on critical alert” after President Donald Trump ordered an airstrike against the nuclear sites of Iran. The quoted post cited Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, DC as critical states that are already placed on high alert for the next 48 hours.
Grete shared the news in her story, while adding a broken heart emoji to convey her honest feelings over the news.
Authorities have indeed declared the next several days, or at least the next 48 hours, as critical moments and have placed cities on heightened alerts, particularly those that are considered as potential symbolic targets for a terror attack. Cybersecurity agencies are also on alert for any potential breach or related cyberattacks.

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes on at least five separate Iranian nuclear facilities. The airstrikes affected global tensions and fears of war. Meanwhile, locally in the US.
Authorities have prepared for any form of retaliation, including cyberattacks. Cybersecurity agencies have warned it could trigger cyberattacks against U.S. infrastructure. Law enforcement agencies have increased security around landmarks and vulnerable locations believed to be of symbolic value to see if there could be retaliation.
Critics of the strike argue it risks further destabilizing the region, while others point to it was required as a deterrent.
President Donald Trump Announces Iran-Israel Ceasefire
On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Iran and Israel have come to a ceasefire agreement, ceasing military actions that have escalated in the region over the last few weeks.
Trump praised the announcement as a “significant turning point” in resolving the conflict between the two powers.

Although the ceasefire does not mean permanent peace between Israel and Iran, officials from the opposing sides have committed to a mediated discussion for a de-escalation of tensions and restoring stability. Trump continued that “calm and dialogue must replace conflict,” and both governments should adopt a de-escalation policy—his use of quotation marks would suggest these points are verbatim from the ceasefire.

The international community cautiously welcomes the ceasefire; however, like the opposing sides, they too are mindful of the tenuousness of the agreement, due to the supposed antagonisms and a recent chain of events. Global markets rallied on the news, and humanitarian organizations expressed optimism for regained or renewed access to the communities affected in conflict zones.
