Trump's Bold Strike: A New Chapter in US-Iran Tensions
The United States launched attacks on Iran's nuclear sites in cooperation with Israel, escalating regional tensions. Despite no congressional authorization, President Trump announced the obliteration of crucial sites and warned of further action. Iran, responding with missile launches on Israel, criticized the US for starting a 'dangerous war.'

In a high-stakes military maneuver, the United States attacked Iranian nuclear sites early Sunday morning, an operation closely aligned with Israel's ongoing conflict with Iran. This marks a significant escalation, with President Trump declaring that the sites were 'completely and fully obliterated' in his address from the White House.
The Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran confirmed the strikes but maintained that its nuclear program would persist. Despite US and Israeli assertions, Iran insisted that its nuclear ambitions are peaceful. The absence of congressional authorization for this US military action has sparked intense political debate.
Immediately following the US attacks, Iran's Revolutionary Guard launched missiles at Israel, intensifying fears of a wider regional war. The strikes follow a failed diplomatic endeavor by the Trump administration to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, culminating in a scenario fraught with geopolitical implications.
