US EditionA US Strike on Iran Could Open a ‘Pandora’s Box’ in the Middle East, Experts Warn
- On June 16, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump publicly discussed escalating conflict involving Israel's attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, especially the Fordow plant.
- The tension stems from Israel's efforts to neutralize Iran's nuclear program amid US considerations to join the military campaign, with uncertainty about the success and risks of striking deeply buried sites like Fordow.

- The conflict's outcome remains uncertain as Trump balances avoiding war with dismantling Iran’s nuclear threat, while Russia and the global community monitor rising hostilities closely.
