In a decisive military action, the United States, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, carried out airstrikes targeting key nuclear facilities in Iran. This strategic operation, executed early on Sunday, aligns with Israel's ongoing efforts to disrupt Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

President Trump, addressing the nation from the White House, confirmed the obliteration of Iran's Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz sites. His declaration comes amid heightened tensions, as Iran has vowed retaliation, potentially broadening the scope of conflict in an already volatile region.

Despite Iran's nuclear agency acknowledging the attacks, the move is fraught with risk, as it diverges from Trump's campaign promises to avoid foreign interventions. The decision followed intensive US-Israel military coordination, aimed at utilizing American stealth bombers and bunker buster bombs for maximum impact.
