Tehran/Washington — In a dramatic escalation of hostilities, the United States launched targeted airstrikes on multiple Iranian nuclear facilities, triggering an immediate and fiery response from Tehran, which vowed “everlasting consequences” in retaliation.
The strikes, confirmed by senior defense officials, were carried out late Sunday night and reportedly targeted underground enrichment labs, missile assembly units, and critical communication hubs across Iran. The Pentagon described the operation as a “preemptive precision strike” aimed at dismantling Iran’s alleged accelerated nuclear weapons program.
Iran’s Stern Warning
Following the airstrikes, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council convened an emergency meeting. Government spokespersons condemned the attack as “an act of war”, warning the U.S. and its allies of “unforgettable repercussions across generations.”
“This aggression will not go unanswered. The Islamic Republic reserves the right to respond at a time and scale of its choosing,” said an Iranian military commander.
Global Reaction
The attack has triggered global concern, with major powers including Russia, China, and the European Union urging both sides to step back from the brink of a full-scale war. Meanwhile, oil markets reacted sharply, with prices surging on fears of broader instability in the Gulf region.
Fallout and Civilian Impact
While the U.S. claimed the strikes were carried out with surgical precision, early reports from Iranian state sources suggest collateral damage, including injuries to civilians living near one of the nuclear facilities. Independent verification remains limited due to restricted access to the sites.
Strategic Shift
This is the most direct military action by the U.S. against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure in recent years and signals a shift from deterrence to direct confrontation. Intelligence agencies had previously warned of increased Iranian enrichment activity, and the U.S. now says it had “credible intelligence of an imminent threat.”
