U.S. President Donald Trump announced today that three Iranian nuclear facilities were "obliterated" in a series of targeted military strikes, escalating tensions between the two nations. The attacks mark a significant escalation in the long-standing confrontation over Iran’s nuclear program.

In a televised address, President Trump stated, "The U.S. military has successfully neutralized three key nuclear sites in Iran that posed an immediate threat to global security." He did not disclose further operational details but emphasized that the strikes were a "necessary measure" to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization swiftly responded, insisting that the attacks would not halt its nuclear activities. Spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi stated, "Our nuclear program is peaceful, and such aggression will only strengthen our resolve to continue."

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian issued a stark warning, saying the U.S. strikes would have "everlasting consequences" and vowing a "swift and decisive response." Analysts fear the situation could spiral into a broader regional conflict.

Following the U.S. strikes, Israel raised its military alert level, anticipating possible retaliatory actions from Iran or its proxies. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an emergency security cabinet meeting, though no official statement has been released.

The international community has called for restraint, with the United Nations Security Council expected to convene an emergency session. European leaders urged de-escalation, while Russia and China condemned the U.S. action as "a dangerous violation of sovereignty."
