U.S. Strikes Iranian Nuclear Sites

Share to Google Classroom

President Donald Trump announced that the United States has carried out airstrikes on three important nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. This action marks the first time the U.S. has directly joined Israel in attacking Iran’s nuclear program.

The attacks were made using American B-2 stealth bombers, which dropped heavy bombs designed to destroy underground facilities. The planes left Iran safely after the operation, according to President Trump.

This bold move follows several attacks by Israel over the past week. The goal has been to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Iran has not confirmed the U.S. strikes yet. But leaders in Tehran have warned that any American involvement would lead to serious consequences and could start a larger war in the region.

President Trump posted on social media that the attacks were successful and said he would speak to the nation later. He also repeated his strong message that Iran must end its nuclear efforts.

Iran’s top leaders have responded with warnings, saying that further attacks could cause great harm. Meanwhile, Israel has said it is preparing for a longer conflict if necessary.

President Trump stressed that he does not want to send American troops into Iran, calling it a “last resort.”
