Former US President Donald Trump has confirmed that the United States carried out airstrikes on three nuclear sites in Iran. The announcement has raised global concerns and added to the rising tensions in the Middle East.
Speaking to the media, Trump stated that the strikes were aimed at Iran’s nuclear facilities to prevent further development of nuclear weapons. He claimed that the action was necessary for global security and warned Iran against continuing its nuclear program.
The former president did not give exact details about the timing of the attack or the damage caused. However, sources suggest that the strikes targeted key locations believed to be involved in uranium enrichment and weapons development.
Iran has not yet officially responded to the statement, but international observers fear that the situation could escalate quickly. The news has drawn reactions from world leaders, with some calling for calm and urging both countries to avoid further conflict.
Tensions between the US and Iran have been building for years, especially over disagreements on Iran’s nuclear program. The 2015 nuclear deal, which aimed to limit Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for lifting sanctions, fell apart when Trump withdrew the US from the agreement in 2018.
Now, with this latest development, fears of a broader regional conflict are growing. Experts warn that military actions targeting nuclear facilities can have serious consequences, not just for the countries involved but for global peace and stability.
