US Joins Israeli Air Campaign with Strikes on Three Iranian Nuclear Sites
- The United States conducted airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites—Natanz, Esfahan, and Fordow—on Saturday evening to prevent Iran from producing nuclear weapons.
- This action followed longstanding concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions, threats to U.S. allies, and terrorism funding, with President Trump promising to stop a nuclear-armed Iran.
- The strike employed B-2 Spirit bombers delivering Massive Ordinance Penetrator bombs capable of destroying deeply buried sites like Fordow, considered nearly impervious before.
- President Trump called the operation a "spectacular military success," while critics said the unilateral strike was unconstitutional and risked drawing the U.S. into another Middle East war.
- The strikes reinforce U.S. and Israeli security interests but also raise fears of prolonged conflict and prompt calls for Congress to oversee any further military actions.
