US Attack Iran: Airstrikes Target Nuclear Sites

The US has launched airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, in a historic escalation of the Middle East conflict, with US President Donald Trump claiming the strikes were "very successful" and all US planes have left Iranian airspace.

The US used B-2 stealth bombers to carry out the strikes, which included a full payload of bombs dropped on the primary site, Fordow, and a 30,000-lb bunker buster bomb, which can only be carried by American aircraft. The decision to launch airstrikes marks a significant shift in US policy, as Trump had previously sought to avoid military intervention, but now believes diplomacy has run its course and that military action is necessary to eliminate Iran's nuclear program.

The strikes were carried out in coordination with Israel, with Israeli officials saying the US and Israel were "in full coordination" on the operation. Israel has continued to attack Iranian military facilities and nuclear sites, prompting Iran to launch dozens of drones towards Israel. The escalation of the conflict has raised concerns about the risks of retaliation from Iran against US troops and military installations.

The US involvement in the airstrikes has been seen as a perilous move, as Iran has pledged to retaliate, and for Trump personally, who won the White House on a promise to keep America out of costly foreign conflicts. The strikes have marked a new phase in the conflict, with the US directly involved in Israel's effort to destroy Iran's nuclear program.

The situation remains tense, with Iran vowing to retaliate against the US and Israel for the airstrikes. The international community is watching the developments closely, as the conflict has the potential to escalate into a wider regional war. The US and Israel have stated that they will continue to take action to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear program, while Iran has maintained that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
