The US on Sunday joined Israel’s war against Iran by bombing Tehran’s three key nuclear sites – Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The strikes, the first-ever direct US military involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran, are a major escalation, spreading fears of a full-blown war in the Middle East.

US President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said that the American planes “completed a very successful attack”.
“All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he said.
The attack by the US comes two days after Trump said he would take as long as two weeks to decide whether the US should enter the conflict on Israel’s side. Tel Aviv, for more than a week, has been targeting Iran’s nuclear capabilities to cripple their defence systems and missile infrastructure.
