President Donald Trump stated US forces targeted three Iranian nuclear sites in coordination with an Israeli air campaign, escalating hostilities amid ongoing regional conflict.
US President Donald Trump announced that American military forces conducted strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, joining an ongoing Israeli air offensive against Iran.
The declaration follows a week of heightened violence across the Middle East. Satellite imagery confirmed renewed activity at Iran's fortified Fordo enrichment facility near Qom, a site long scrutinized by Western nations.
Recent days saw missiles launched from Iran strike Israeli territory, including a hit on an apartment building in Ramat Gan. Israeli defenses intercepted other projectiles over Jerusalem. In response, Israel conducted strikes on Iranian soil, which Tehran's Health Ministry claims resulted in at least 430 civilian casualties.
One reported victim was 13-year-old Parnia Rahmanian, left unconscious in a Tehran hospital after an Israeli strike targeted her neighborhood. Meanwhile, Israeli civilians sought refuge in public bomb shelters amid fears of further Iranian missile attacks.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned US involvement would be "very, very dangerous for everyone," while Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan characterized Iran's retaliatory strikes as "legitimate and legal," condemning Israel's actions as "banditry." Protests erupted in Istanbul and Baghdad, with demonstrators condemning Israel and showing solidarity with Iran.
Diplomatic efforts, led by European nations, proceeded in Geneva attempting to broker a ceasefire as the conflict risks spiraling further. Trump's announcement signals a significant escalation in direct US military engagement against Iranian nuclear infrastructure.
