US EditionUS Joins Israeli Air Campaign with Strikes on Three Iranian Nuclear Sites
IRAN, JUN 22 – The strikes targeted Iran's heavily fortified nuclear sites to prevent weapon development amid failed diplomacy, with U.S. intelligence citing imminent nuclear capability within weeks, officials said.
- The United States conducted airstrikes over the weekend targeting Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan to hinder Iran's nuclear capabilities.
- The strikes aimed to eliminate the perceived existential threat from Iran’s nuclear ambitions amid decades of hostility and without congressional authorization.
- The operation, known as Midnight Hammer, involved 125 aircraft and included support from U.S. Cyber Command and strategic military commands to enhance precision.
- President Trump hailed the strikes as a major military achievement, while Democrats condemned the lack of congressional authorization and cautioned that the action could lead to a costly involvement in another Middle Eastern conflict.
- The strikes raised concerns about potential escalation in the region, protests against war in the U.S., and calls for Congress to check presidential war powers.
