U.S. Strikes Key Iranian Nuclear Facilities

The United States, led by President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, launched airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—declaring the mission a 'spectacular military success.' Trump warned Iran of further force if it retaliates and urged Tehran to seek peace. In response, Israel closed its airspace, while Iran reported no radioactive contamination at the sites but promised retaliation and threatened U.S. personnel in the region. The strikes drew criticism from U.S. lawmakers, including Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, who called them unconstitutional and demanded legislative action to curb further escalation. The World Jewish Congress commended Trump for his decisive action, while the situation has sparked renewed debate over presidential war powers and heightened fears of a wider Middle East conflict. Both sides are reportedly preparing for further military exchanges.
