The United States has launched targeted airstrikes on three of Iran’s most critical nuclear sites, Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan – in a dramatic escalation of the ongoing Middle East conflict. President Donald Trump is expected to propose a diplomatic off-ramp to avoid further conflict, even as the United Nations expresses deep concern over the growing instability. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the U.S. for its decisive show of strength, calling the strike a major blow to Iran’s military infrastructure.
