US EditionUS Joins Israeli Air Campaign with Strikes on Three Iranian Nuclear Sites
- Late Saturday night, President Donald Trump announced that U.S. forces had targeted and attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran, notably the important Fordow site.
- These airstrikes occurred nine days after Israel launched an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities and just over a day following Trump's statement that he would make a decision within two weeks about entering the conflict.
- The strikes were conducted by U.S. stealth aircraft deploying specialized munitions designed to eliminate Iran's nuclear enrichment sites, which President Trump claimed were entirely destroyed.
- Trump called the mission a "spectacular military success" and warned Iran there are many targets left, urging peace but threatening greater attacks if Iran does not comply.
- The strikes raised security concerns, with major U.S. cities increasing police presence, drew criticism from Democratic lawmakers, and prompted UN Secretary-General Guterres to warn of escalating regional risks.
