Tehran: The Israel-Iran conflict has escalated dramatically with the United States formally joining offensive operations, launching strikes on three critical Iranian nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. This significant development, confirmed by US President Donald Trump on Truth Social, follows the strategic deployment of several B-2 stealth bomber jets to Guam, signaling a deeper American involvement in the region’s burgeoning hostilities.
President Trump’s announcement underscored the gravity of the situation, with White House officials confirming Tel Aviv had been informed “in advance” of the US strikes, highlighting a coordinated effort between the two allies. The move comes as Israel has reiterated its preparedness for a “long campaign” against Iran, continuing its own barrages on Iranian nuclear and military installations.
Iranian officials, while confirming the attacks on Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow, have downplayed the damage. State TV reports quoting Iranian authorities claim the US strikes caused “little to no damage,” asserting that materials had been evacuated from the sites in anticipation of such an attack. However, US sources, including President Trump’s statements, suggest a more significant impact, with one senior defense official indicating that “a full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” which is known for its heavily fortified, underground location.
The human cost of the conflict continues to mount. The Iranian health ministry has reported a staggering 430 deaths in Iran, with over 3,500 people sustaining injuries due to Israeli strikes and attacks. In Israel, authorities have confirmed at least 24 fatalities since the conflict intensified last week.
The US entry into direct military action marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing crisis. The deployment of B-2 stealth bombers to Guam, capable of carrying powerful bunker-buster munitions, had been seen as a clear signal of potential American intervention. Now, with confirmed strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, the conflict has entered a dangerous new phase, raising concerns about regional stability and the potential for further escalation. The world watches anxiously as diplomatic efforts struggle to keep pace with the rapidly evolving military landscape.
