BREAKING NEWS – In a major escalation of regional tensions, the United States has launched precision airstrikes targeting three nuclear facilities in Iran, including the highly fortified Fordow enrichment site, according to initial reports aired by WION and confirmed by several international media outlets.
The strikes reportedly came in the wake of rising hostilities between Israel and Iran, following weeks of cyber attacks, drone exchanges, and military threats. According to U.S. defense officials, the operation was coordinated with Israeli intelligence and focused solely on nuclear development facilities suspected of breaching international agreements.
The Fordow facility, buried deep under a mountain near the city of Qom, has long been a focal point of global concern due to its advanced uranium enrichment capabilities. Along with Fordow, two other nuclear-related infrastructure sites, believed to be involved in research and uranium processing, were also hit. The extent of the damage is still being assessed.
Iran has strongly condemned the attack, calling it an act of war and vowing retaliation. In a televised statement, Iranian officials declared that “the aggression will not go unanswered.” Security alerts have been issued across the Middle East, with fears of a wider conflict escalating rapidly.
The UN Security Council has called an emergency meeting, urging restraint from all sides. Meanwhile, diplomatic channels between the U.S., Europe, and Middle Eastern nations are reportedly in full swing to de-escalate the crisis.
Experts warn that the consequences of such military action on nuclear infrastructure could lead to long-term regional instability and impact global energy markets.
As this situation unfolds, the international community is closely watching developments, with hope that a broader war can still be avoided.
