US, Israel Strike Escalates Iran Nuclear Tensions

The United States, led by President Donald Trump, conducted coordinated airstrikes on Iran’s key nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, significantly escalating regional tensions. The strikes, planned over years and coordinated with Israel, were declared a military success by Trump and praised by Israeli leaders, temporarily boosting Israel’s political standing. However, Iran condemned the attacks as a grave breach of international law and the UN Charter, with additional condemnation from Iraq, Pakistan, and other nations. Iran warned of severe consequences and asserted its right to respond, while US officials insisted the operation was a targeted action and not the start of a wider campaign. The global community, including international financial organizations, expressed concern about the potential destabilization of the region and disruption of the global economy. The situation remains volatile as various actors await Iran’s next move.
