US escalates conflict by striking Iranian nuclear sites amid Iran-Israel tensions

US President Donald Trump announced that American warplanes bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, including the heavily fortified Fordo, marking a significant escalation in the Iran-Israel conflict. The strikes targeted key nuclear infrastructure amid ongoing tensions and retaliation exchanges between Iran and Israel, with Iran warning of potential regional retaliation. The US claims the facilities were largely evacuated and damaged, but the full extent remains unclear. The situation risks further regional escalation and war.
