Israel, US Strike Iran Nuclear Sites Amid Rising Tensions

Israel launched a coordinated strike on Iran's nuclear facilities following a joint US-Israel deception campaign that used diplomatic negotiations to mask imminent military action. After initially urging restraint, US President Donald Trump publicly praised the Israeli attack and emphasized US military support, including assistance in intercepting Iranian retaliatory missiles. The operation has led to bipartisan support in Congress, with most Republicans and some Democrats backing Israel despite ongoing anti-interventionist opposition. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other lawmakers highlighted the threat posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions to US interests. Iran has suspended negotiations with the US in response to the attack. The situation remains tense, with increased risk of further escalation and regional instability.
