US Joins Israel, Strikes Three Iranian Nuclear Sites

President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. military conducted a successful attack on three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—marking America's direct involvement in the escalating Israel-Iran conflict. The strikes, which utilized B-2 stealth bombers and heavy bunker-buster bombs, aimed to significantly damage Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities, particularly targeting heavily fortified underground facilities. Trump emphasized that all American planes safely returned and called for peace following the operation, describing it as a historic moment for the U.S., Israel, and the world. Iranian officials confirmed explosions near the nuclear sites but did not immediately acknowledge the full extent of the damage, while Tehran has threatened retaliation, raising concerns about a broader regional conflict. The U.S. entry into the conflict represents a notable escalation given prior expectations that the America First policy would avoid new foreign wars. Diplomatic efforts to halt hostilities have so far been unsuccessful, and the international community remains alert to further developments.
