**Trump Launches Airstrikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites Amidst Rising Tensions**
The U.S. military has executed airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, escalating the regional conflict and leaving avenues for diplomacy uncertain.
As tensions between the United States and Iran escalate, President Donald Trump has confirmed that U.S. forces have bombarded three key Iranian nuclear sites, including the notorious uranium-enrichment facility located at Fordow. This act has officially involved the United States in an ongoing clash between Israel and Iran, pushing the region to the brink of further conflict.
In a statement posted on his platform, Truth Social, shortly before 8 p.m. ET, Trump celebrated the attack, saying, "We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space.” He reinforced his key message calling for peace immediately after this military action, saying, “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!”
The airstrikes come shortly after a White House announcement indicating Trump's potential decision on military action against Iran was imminent. Israeli officials were briefed in advance about the strikes, and the President spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the action.
Details surrounding the extent of the damage caused by the bombings remain vague, as it is unclear how significantly the attacks may have impaired Iran's nuclear capabilities. Trump has expressed consideration for a diplomatic solution, but the likelihood of such negotiations seems dim given Iran’s history in response to military provocations.
The decision has ignited controversy within Trump's own party, exposing a division among supporters and critics of military intervention in Iran. As pressures mount from various factions, all eyes remain on Tehran's next move and the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy in the region. Trump is scheduled to address the nation later in the evening, at 10 p.m., amid growing uncertainty regarding how Iran will respond to this direct confrontation.
