US President Donald Trump declared in a brief televised address on Saturday evening that American bombers had nearly demolished three major Iranian nuclear sites. He also hinted at striking more targets if Iran did not agree to a peace deal. The attack marked a significant escalation in tension in the region and was seen as Washington joining through its actions, the efforts to weaken Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
According to Trump, the full offense against Iran’s nuclear facilities was an “unprecedented success,” with all involved US aircraft having already returned to base. The strikes have reignited fears of conflict expansion, possibly involving proxy forces, endangering American military personnel, and disturbing global energy supply.
Many are wondering how Iran will react and whether this will escalate into a full-blown conflict in the region. The internal response in the US has been divided; some have supported the president’s actions, while others, including members of his own party, have argued it was not the right decision and have raised concerns about the lack of congressional approval.
