The recent US military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities signal a 'major escalation' in the long-standing conflict between Iran and Israel, according to defense expert Sanjeev Srivastava.

Speaking to ANI, Srivastava emphasized the significant impact of the strike, describing it as a 'devastating blow' to Iran, particularly targeting its deep underground nuclear installations.

In a statement on Saturday, US President Donald Trump announced the 'successful' bombardment of Iran's key sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. The attacks, carried out by B-2 bombers, marked the first such US military action on Iranian soil since the 1979 revolution, prompting discussions on implications for international peace.
