Pentagon: US Doesn't Want to Pursue War with Iran After Bombing 3 of Its Nuclear Sites
- The United States launched Operation Midnight Hammer overnight Saturday targeting Iran's nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan with no Iranian resistance.
- The strikes followed President Trump's decision after assessing Iran was not negotiating in good faith despite aggressive U.S. efforts for a peaceful settlement.
- Defense officials stated the U.S. used decoys, including moving B-2 bombers and deploying fighters, and dropped 14 bunker-buster bombs while Iran's air defenses remained inactive.
- Vice President Vance said the strikes substantially delayed Iran's nuclear program and gave Tehran a renewed chance to negotiate, while Iran's foreign minister Araghchi condemned the attack as crossing a "very big red line."
- The U.S. maintained it does not seek war and that the mission was not about regime change, but the strikes risk escalating conflict across the Middle East and impact global stability.
