The United States has launched major airstrikes on three critical nuclear sites in Iran, escalating tensions in the Middle East significantly. According to President Donald Trump, the targeted facilities included the highly secured Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, Natanz, and Isfahan. These strikes were executed using stealth B-2 bombers, aimed at dismantling important components of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
The Iranian government strongly condemned the attacks, labeling them as “outrageous” and pledging retaliation. Tehran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, warned that the strikes would have “everlasting consequences.”
As the conflict intensifies, several impactful developments have followed:
- British Airways suspended flights to Dubai and Doha citing safety concerns.
- Israel closed its airspace amid increased missile attacks from Iran.
- Iran launched its 20th wave of missile and drone strikes targeting Israeli military positions.
Meanwhile, despite the airstrikes, Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization has assured that there is no nuclear contamination risk and that residents near the affected sites remain safe.
Reactions from the global community have been mixed, including:
- Israel supported the US military actions.
- The United Nations called for immediate de-escalation.
The situation remains volatile, and more updates are expected as this crisis unfolds. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for the latest developments.
