Trump Claims US Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites, Igniting War Fears
President Trump authorized U.S. airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan—using B-2 stealth bombers. This action, following weeks of Israeli strikes, aimed to cripple Iran’s nuclear program and was justified as a preemptive measure to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. The strikes, a significant escalation, occurred despite Iranian threats of retaliation and risked a wider regional conflict. Trump announced the success of the operation via social media, asserting all aircraft had safely returned.
