In a dramatic escalation, the U.S. carried out military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, a move that had long been avoided by previous administrations. President Trump announced the operation, which involved B-2 bombers and advanced weaponry, marking a significant shift in American foreign policy toward Iran.
The U.S. targeted key Iranian nuclear sites like Fordow and Natanz using untested bunker-busting bombs, with conflicting reports on the extent of damage. Israel reportedly played a major role in pushing for the strike and may have previously damaged Natanz. While Iran’s response was muted, questions remain about whether the attack effectively halted its nuclear ambitions or risked triggering a broader conflict. The Trump administration framed it as a limited action, but debate continues over its legal and strategic implications.
