President Donald Trump has announced that the U.S. military has carried out strikes on three sites in Iran, in support of Israel’s efforts to cripple the country’s nuclear program. This bold move is seen as an attempt to weaken Iran, despite the risk of retaliation that could escalate tensions in the region.
The decision to involve the U.S. directly comes after Israel conducted a series of strikes on Iran over the past week, targeting air defenses, missile capabilities, and nuclear facilities. U.S. and Israeli officials believe that American stealth bombers and a massive bunker buster bomb were necessary to destroy heavily fortified underground sites linked to Iran’s nuclear program.
Iran has confirmed that its Fordo nuclear site was targeted in the recent attacks.
