In an unprecedented move, the United States conducted airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites early Sunday, aligning itself with Israel in an escalating regional conflict. The strikes, ordered by President Donald Trump without congressional approval, aim to dismantle Iran's nuclear capabilities despite concerns of a broader war.

President Trump asserted the attacks were a success, with Iran's key nuclear sites reportedly obliterated. However, the situation remains precarious as Tehran warns of dire consequences and reserves the right to retaliate.

The international community watches with bated breath, alarmed by the United States' intervention and its potential repercussions. UN and global leaders urge restraint, fearing the conflict could spiral out of control, affecting civilians and threatening regional stability.
