U S AIRSTRIKE ON IRANIAN NUCLEAR SITES
Here are the latest developments on Iran:
U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites
The U.S. launched precision strikes—using B-2 bombers and Tomahawk missiles—against three Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, in coordination with Israel. President Trump termed the operation a “spectacular success,” saying the sites were “totally obliterated”
.
Tehran's response
Iran condemned the strikes as “outrageous” and warned they “will have everlasting consequences.” Its foreign minister stated Tehran reserves the right to retaliate and described the actions as violations of international law.
Regional escalation
The attacks intensified the Israel–Iran war, with Iranian missiles targeting Israeli sites—including a near-miss at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba—and reports of deaths among Iranian IRGC commanders.
Geopolitical ripple effects
The U.S. strikes mark a significant shift in its engagement in the Middle East, raising questions about the future of U.S.–Israel relations and potential alliances with Russia and China, and prompting calls for diplomacy.
Domestic unrest
Inside Iran, widespread protests and strikes continue, driven by economic grievances such as fuel shortages, high insurance costs, and low wages—spreading to more than 155 cities

🔍 Why this matters
Risk of broader war: The U.S. direct involvement heightens the risk of a regional or even global conflict.
Nuclear proliferation concerns: With Iran expanding enrichment and installing advanced centrifuges beyond JCPOA limits, its nuclear program remains a major international concern.
Internal pressure on Iran: Economic hardship and social strikes add domestic pressure to respond carefully to external threats.
