President Donald Trump announced Saturday that the United States military has conducted air strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, directly joining Israel’s ongoing air campaign to dismantle Iran’s nuclear programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The decision marks a significant escalation in regional tensions, drawing an immediate response from Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump declared, “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that “All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strikes come after more than a week of Israeli attacks on Iranian military and nuclear facilities. U.S. and Israeli officials have suggested that American stealth bombers equipped with powerful 30,000-lb. “bunker buster” bombs offered the best chance of destroying heavily fortified underground sites like Fordow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed attacks on at least one facility, noting it was “extensively damaged” but with no immediate risk of off-site contamination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran, however, has vowed retaliation if the U.S. were to directly join Israel’s assault, raising fears of a broader regional conflict. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated earlier that U.S. military involvement “would be very, very dangerous for everyone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump’s decision represents a perilous gambit, particularly as he campaigned on a promise of keeping America out of costly foreign conflicts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the strikes aim to weaken a longtime foe and curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, critics warn of unpredictable consequences and a potential spiral into a wider war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since pulling the U.S. out of the 2015 nuclear deal during his first term, Iran has significantly escalated its uranium enrichment, reaching levels of up to 60%, a short technical step from weapons-grade material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The targeted sites, including Fordow, Natanz (a major enrichment facility), and Esfahan (housing various nuclear facilities), are central to Iran’s nuclear programme, which Tehran insists is for peaceful purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
