The US military recently executed a large-scale airstrike, officially known as Operation Midnight Hammer, targeting three key Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. President Donald Trump hailed the operation, stating the sites had been "obliterated" while Pentagon officials confirmed "extremely severe damage" to these critical infrastructures.
The US deployed an impressive fleet of 125 military aircraft, including B-2 stealth bombers and Tomahawk cruise missiles. Pentagon officials reported these strikes occurred between 18:40 and 19:05 Eastern Time, with meticulous planning carried out in coordination with Israel, highlighting the complexity of the operation. Meanwhile, Iranian officials claim the attack was a "barbaric violation" of international law, asserting that they evacuated materials from the affected sites prior to the strikes.
In retaliation, Iran has launched missiles targeting Israeli cities, with officials asserting a "response" is necessary following Trump's actions. Observers note that further US-Iran tensions could spark broader regional conflicts, as calls for diplomatic negotiations surface from international leaders, including UK and French officials.
As the situation evolves, the global community watches closely, fearing the impacts of a potential expanded conflict in the Middle Eastern landscape shaped by military, political, and strategic interests.
