Former US President Donald Trump has confirmed that the United States carried out airstrikes on three nuclear sites in Iran. The announcement has sparked international concern and added to the already tense relations between the two countries.
Trump, while speaking to the media, said the strikes were aimed at stopping Iran from advancing its nuclear weapons program. He claimed that the action was necessary to protect global security and prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear threat.
He did not provide the exact date or full details of the operation, but sources believe the strikes targeted important nuclear facilities involved in uranium enrichment and weapon development.
So far, Iranian officials have not officially responded to Trump’s statement. However, the news has caused unease in many countries, as world leaders call for calm and urge both nations to avoid further conflict.
The US and Iran have had a difficult relationship for years, especially after the US pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal during Trump’s presidency. That agreement was meant to limit Iran’s nuclear activities in return for easing economic sanctions.
This new development has raised fears of a possible military clash, with many warning that attacking nuclear facilities could lead to serious consequences for both the region and the world.
International observers are closely watching the situation as tensions rise. Many hope that both sides will choose diplomacy over violence and work towards peaceful solutions to avoid further instability in the region.
