In a significant escalation, the United States, in concert with Israel, executed a major military operation targeting Iran's nuclear sites. This marks the largest such intervention since the Islamic Republic's 1979 revolution, intensifying already fraught geopolitical tensions.

The situation has raised alarms within the U.S., prompting increased security measures and concerns about foreign threats, including cyber attacks.
