Israel Iran War: The Israel-Iran War has now seen direct U.S. involvement. Early Sunday morning at 4:30 AM IST, the United States launched an airstrike on three key Iranian nuclear sites — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
Among these, Fordow is considered the most secure and underground nuclear site, which was targeted by the U.S. using B-2 stealth bombers that dropped six 30,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs.
Trump Calls It a ‘Historic Moment’
Former U.S. President Donald Trump, just a few hours after the strike, addressed the nation, stating, “This was a very successful military operation and a historic moment for the U.S., Israel, and the world.”
He also added, “All aircraft are returning safely. Congratulations to our great American warriors. Now is the time for peace!”
Iran Responds, Fires Missiles at Israel
Following the U.S. attack, the Israel-Iran War escalated further. In retaliation, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have launched the biggest-ever attack on Israel.
Iranian missiles targeted both military and residential areas in Haifa and Tel Aviv. According to Times of Israel, at least 16 people were injured in these attacks.
Israel Needed U.S. Support
For the past week, Israel had been trying to weaken Iran’s air defense systems and nuclear infrastructure. However, to destroy deeply buried sites like Fordow, it needed U.S. assistance. The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, used in this operation, is a weapon only the U.S. possesses.
Trump giving the green light to the strike indicates that the U.S. now considers military action essential to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
What Happens Next?
With this new turn in the Israel-Iran War, tensions in West Asia have reached their peak. On one side, the U.S. and Israel are jointly trying to eliminate Iran’s nuclear sites, while on the other, Iran is openly retaliating. The coming days may prove decisive for this entire conflict.
