On Saturday, the United States conducted aerial assaults on three important Iranian nuclear sites, greatly increasing tensions in the Middle East. The attacks targeted Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan in an effort to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program.
Iran International claims that the US employed sophisticated B-2 stealth bombers carrying bunker-busting bombs to break through the heavily defended underground sites. On his social media site, Truth Social, President Donald Trump announced the operation’s success, stating, “We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.”
But Iran issued a stern warning in response. “From now on, every American civilian and military personnel in the region will be considered a legitimate target,” said its national broadcaster. With this statement, Tehran’s willingness to extend its retaliation beyond its military forces is made clear, signaling a notable escalation.
The state television of Iran also minimized the damage from the bombings, claiming that the country’s nuclear industry “cannot be destroyed by bombing” and that the extent of the damage “needs to be assessed,” indicating Tehran’s resolve to continue its nuclear operations.
According to reports from Iran International, Israel was given advance notice of the strikes and coordinated closely with the US, demonstrating the strong security ties between the two nations.
Iran has issued numerous warnings that it will respond to any direct attacks on its territory. The possibility of escalation remains significant due to the United States’ large military presence in the area.
The world is waiting to see what Iran does next as calls for diplomacy to avert additional conflict continue as the crisis gains global attention.
