US Launches Strikes On Three Iranian Nuclear Sites

President Donald Trump announced that U.S. military forces successfully carried out strikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—marking a significant escalation in tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Trump described the operation as a "spectacular military success," emphasizing that the strikes targeted Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity, notably hitting the heavily fortified Fordow site with bunker-buster bombs. He warned that if Iran does not agree to a satisfactory peace deal, further precision attacks will follow, underscoring the seriousness of the U.S. commitment alongside its ally Israel in countering Iran's nuclear ambitions. The targeted sites are central to Iran’s uranium enrichment program, with Fordow enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels and Natanz housing thousands of advanced centrifuges, both significantly reducing Iran’s breakout time to develop nuclear weapons. The strikes represent a shift from diplomatic efforts to military action to prevent Tehran from advancing its nuclear program, which the U.S. views as a critical threat to regional and global security. Trump concluded by calling for peace but left open the possibility of additional military measures if Iran continues its current path.
