โจThe newspapers report that the United States directly entered the Israel-Iran conflict by striking three Iranian nuclear sites using B-2 bombers and bunker-buster bombs (ABC News, Boston Globe, Fox News, LA Times, NPR, USA Today, Washington Post). Trump declared the facilities "completely and totally obliterated" and called the operation a "spectacular military success," while warning Iran to choose between "peace or tragedy" (CBS, CNN, NY Post, The Hill, AP News). Despite Trump's warning, Iran retaliated with attacks on Israel following the US strikes (Fox News). The military action represents a major escalation that contradicts Trump's previous promises to avoid Middle East conflicts (NPR, The Atlantic). US cities have increased alert levels following the strikes, while critics argue Trump acted without constitutional authority (Reason, One America News Network). The strikes specifically targeted the Fordow underground facility along with Natanz and Isfahan sites (USA Today, Breitbart).
