US Conducts Airstrikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites, Enters Israel-Iran Conflict

News summary

President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States has conducted coordinated airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan—marking America's official entry into the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The attacks involved B-2 stealth bombers dropping bunker-busting bombs and U.S. Navy submarines launching over 30 Tomahawk missiles, and were described by Trump as a "spectacular military success" with the nuclear sites "completely destroyed." Trump warned that further strikes would follow if Iran did not pursue peace, while Iranian officials vowed to continue their nuclear program and threatened retaliation, including missile strikes and the closure of vital oil export routes. Global reactions include alarm from the United Nations and calls for dialogue from various countries, amid fears of a prolonged and escalating war in the Middle East. Experts suggest Iran may seek to prolong the conflict to gain leverage in any diplomatic negotiations, and anticipate possible Iranian attacks on U.S. military bases and shipping lanes. The situation remains volatile with significant risks of further military escalation and regional instability.
