U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that American forces have struck three Iranian nuclear sites, directly joining Israel’s ongoing air campaign aimed at dismantling Iran’s nuclear program.This decision follows over a week of Israeli strikes targeting Iran’s air defenses, missile capabilities, and nuclear enrichment facilities. According to U.S. and Israeli officials, American stealth bombers deployed a 30,000-pound bunker-buster bomb—an asset unique to the U.S.—to destroy heavily fortified underground nuclear sites, increasing the likelihood of crippling Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.President Trump’s move to escalate military action comes amid Tehran’s threats of retaliation, raising concerns over the potential for a broader regional conflict.
