The U.S. military struck three sites in Iran early Sunday, directly joining Israel’s war aimed at decapitating the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict.
What to know:
- Trump delivers remarks: President Donald Trump says Iran’s key nuclear sites were “completely and fully obliterated” by U.S. strikes. Speaking at the White House hours after the attacks, he threatened more strikes and said Iran faced a choice between “peace or tragedy.”
- Iran issues warning: Iran’s top diplomat warned Sunday that the U.S. attacks on its nuclear sites “will have everlasting consequences” and that Tehran “reserves all options” to retaliate. The comment from Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on X represents the first ranking official to comment on the strikes on Isfahan, Fordo and Natanz by the Americans.
- How we got here: Israel launched a surprise barrage of attacks on sites in Iran on June 13, which Israeli officials said was necessary to head off what they claimed was an imminent threat that Iran would build nuclear bombs. Iran has retaliated with a series of missile and drone strikes in Israel, while Israel has continued to strike sites in Iran.
