US EditionStrikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites Thrust US Into Escalating Middle East Conflict
- On Saturday, President Trump authorised and announced U.S. airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
- The strikes followed a failed two-month diplomatic effort to persuade Iran to halt its nuclear program and came amid ongoing Israeli attacks and regional tensions.
- The U.S. used B-2 stealth bombers carrying 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs to target the heavily fortified Fordow plant and launched Tomahawk missiles from submarines at Natanz and Isfahan.
- Trump called the operation a "very successful attack" that made America, Israel, and the world safer, warning of greater future strikes if Iran refuses to negotiate; meanwhile, Iran warned such attacks would cause "irreparable damage."
- The strikes mark a significant U.S. escalation in the Middle East conflict, risking broader regional war while Israel prepares for prolonged fighting and the U.S. reaffirms no intention to deploy ground troops in Iran.
