US Strikes Iranian Nuclear Sites Escalate Middle East Conflict

News summary

U.S. President Donald Trump authorized airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, claiming the sites were 'completely and fully obliterated' to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions. Iran condemned the strikes as a 'dangerous war' and 'heinous crime,' accusing the U.S. of betraying diplomatic processes and collaborating with Israel to wage aggression, while asserting its right to defend itself by all necessary means. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed no off-site radiation increases and that enriched uranium had been removed from the targeted sites. Iran's retaliation included missile attacks on Israel, causing injuries and damage, prompting further Israeli strikes on Iranian military sites. The strikes have raised fears of a broader Middle East conflict, with experts warning of potential escalation, including threats to global oil supplies and prolonged warfare, while domestic political opposition in the U.S. criticized Trump's unilateral military action without Congressional approval. Both sides remain defiant, signaling heightened instability and uncertain prospects for peace in the region.
