The United States has officially entered the Israel-Iran conflict by conducting airstrikes against Iranian nuclear facilities. On June 22 (Myanmar time), US President Donald Trump announced that American forces had successfully carried out bombing operations targeting nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan regions of Iran. The president confirmed that the strikes were highly successful and all aircraft had safely exited Iranian airspace after completing their missions.
In his announcement of the military operation’s success, President Trump expressed particular pride in the capabilities of the American military. He detailed how aircraft carrying full payload loads successfully struck the Fordow facility, with all planes returning safely to their base. Trump emphasized that the US military is the only force in the world capable of executing such operations. He also stated that the time has now come for peace negotiations. The strikes mark the United States’ formal entry into the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, with international news organizations extensively analyzing the situation.
International media outlets are expressing widespread concern about the potential for prolonged conflict and the possibility of other major military powers joining on Iran’s side. The situation has sparked extensive analysis and discussion in international news coverage, with particular focus on the potential for escalation and broader regional implications. President Trump is scheduled to deliver an address to the nation at 10 PM US time, where he is expected to provide further details about the military operation and its strategic objectives. The international community watches closely as these developments mark a significant escalation in Middle Eastern tensions.
