WASHINGTON – In a dramatic and high-stakes military escalation, the United States has launched a series of precision airstrikes against key Iranian nuclear facilities, the Pentagon confirmed early this morning. The pre-dawn operation, reportedly carried out by B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, marks a momentous and perilous new chapter in the long-standing tensions between the two nations.
In an emergency address from the White House, the President stated the action was a "difficult but necessary defensive measure" taken to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The administration claims it had received credible intelligence that Tehran was on the verge of a breakthrough in its weapons program, leaving no further room for diplomacy.
The mission, executed under the cover of darkness, is believed to have targeted heavily fortified sites, including the Natanz enrichment facility and the underground Fordow complex. The B-2 bombers, with their advanced stealth capabilities, would have been able to penetrate deep into Iranian airspace undetected to deliver their payloads. Initial battle damage assessments are underway, but a senior defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated that the mission had "met its primary objectives."
Reaction from Tehran was swift and furious. Iranian state media immediately condemned the attack as an "act of state terrorism" and a "cowardly declaration of war," vowing a "crushing response."
The international community has reacted with alarm. The UN Secretary-General has called for immediate de-escalation, while global markets are bracing for massive volatility, with oil prices expected to soar. Allies in Europe and the Middle East have been placed on high alert, as the world waits to see how and where Iran will choose to retaliate. The attack plunges the region into profound uncertainty, with fears of a wider conflict now a terrifying reality.
