In a high-stakes move that heightens geopolitical tensions, U.S. forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites, President Donald Trump announced on Saturday. Key targets, including Fordow, were hit in coordination with Israel, marking a significant escalation in the conflict with Tehran.

Trump, speaking to news outlets, described the attack as a "very successful" operation, urging Iran to pursue peace or risk further military action. The White House clarified that these strikes aimed only at crippling Iran's nuclear capabilities, with no intention of regime change.
