News Desk: The United States has officially entered the Israel-Iran conflict, launching a powerful and coordinated military strike on three of Iran’s most critical nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. In a nationally televised address, U.S. President Donald Trump declared the attacks a “spectacular military success,” claiming Iran’s nuclear infrastructure has been “completely and totally obliterated.”
The assault began in the early hours of Sunday. B-2 stealth bombers targeted the underground Fordow enrichment facility with six Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs — a first-ever use of these bunker-busting weapons in combat. Simultaneously, 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles struck Natanz and Isfahan, two key components of Iran’s uranium enrichment network.
President Trump issued a warning to Tehran: “Iran must now choose peace, or face further consequences.” He emphasized that the objective was to eliminate the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program and to prevent further destabilization in the Middle East.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the strikes, hailing them as a turning point in regional history. He praised U.S. resolve and expressed hope that Iran’s nuclear ambitions had been decisively crippled.
In response, Iran vowed retaliation. Initial statements from Tehran suggested that the Strait of Hormuz—a vital global oil route—could be shut down. Iranian officials also hinted that American and allied interests in the region may soon come under direct or proxy attacks.

The situation now teeters on the edge of broader war, with uncertainty looming over how regional and global powers—particularly Russia, China, and Gulf nations—will respond. Global markets reacted sharply, and diplomatic efforts are scrambling to contain the fallout.
As tensions spiral, the world watches anxiously. The Middle East is on fire, and the boundaries of the conflict are rapidly expanding. A full-scale war may be no longer a question of “if,” but “when.”
