US, Israel Conduct Coordinated Strikes on Multiple Iranian Nuclear Sites

President Donald Trump announced that the United States has conducted military strikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, aiming to destroy Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities and counter what he described as the threat of the world's leading state sponsor of terror. Trump warned Iran to choose between peace or facing greater and easier future attacks, calling Iran "the bully of the Middle East." The strikes followed Israeli assaults on Iran's air defenses and nuclear sites, with U.S. stealth bombers and bunker-buster bombs playing a critical role. The decision to enter the conflict has sparked domestic divisions, especially within the Democratic Party, where progressives oppose the intervention and party leaders call for congressional authorization before further use of force. Critics argue that the U.S. entry into the war increases the risk of retaliation and does not enhance American security. Additionally, some voices, including an American Jewish cantor, oppose the preemptive attacks on Iran, emphasizing adherence to international humanitarian law and warning against escalating violence and global conflagration.
