The United States joins Israel by attacking Iran, Fordow, Isfahan, Natanz Sites | News Israel-Iran Conflict

President Donald Trump announced that the United States forces have struck three Iranian nuclear sites in a “very successful attack”, adding that the highly fortified Fordwow nuclear installation is “disappeared”.

Trump’s decision on Saturday to join the military campaign of Israel against Iran is a major climbing of the conflict.

“We finished our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, notably Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan,” Trump posted on Truth social, adding that military planes were now on the way.

“It is now time of peace!” He added.

Later, in a television oval office address that lasted more than three minutes, Trump said that the future of Iran held “peace or tragedy”, and that there were many other targets that could be affected by the American army.

“The main nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran have been completely and completely erased,” said Trump.

In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the United States of violating international law.

“The United States, permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a serious violation of the United Nations, international law and the NPT by attacking peaceful nuclear installations of Iran,” said Araghchi in an article on social networks.

“This morning’s events are scandalous and will have eternal consequences. Each member of the UN must be alarmed by this extremely dangerous, law and criminal behavior. ”

He added that Iran “reserves all the options to defend its sovereignty, its interest and its people”.

CBS News reported that the United States had reached out to Iran diplomatically on Saturday to say that strikes were all that was planned and that the United States had no intention of regime change efforts.

The raid on Iranian nuclear sites was carried out by B-2 furtive bombers which abandoned the “Buster Bunker bombs”, as well as Tomahawk cruise missiles launched by submarine, the American media reported.

The strikes occurred while Israel and Iran have embarked on more than a week of air combat, with deaths and injuries in the two countries.

Israel launched attacks on Iran on June 13, saying that it wanted to suppress all luck that Tehran develops nuclear weapons. Israel himself is largely supposed to have nuclear weapons, which it does not confirm or denies.

Iran says its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes. Iranian officials said on several occasions that they did not plan to develop nuclear weapons but would continue his right to nuclear energy and research.

Tricita Parsi, executive vice-president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, says that there was “absolutely no evidence” that Iran was about to obtain a nuclear weapon.

“He was not existential or imminent either,” he told Al Jazeera.

“We must keep in mind the reality of the situation which is that two countries equipped with nuclear power attacked a state of non -nuclear weapons without having been attacked first. Israel was not attacked by Iran – it started this war; The United States was not attacked by Iran – it started this confrontation at this stage. “

Parsi said that attacks on Iran “will send shock waves” worldwide, because it will be very difficult for countries that may find themselves in the United States and Israel reticulus to think that they are safe without having nuclear deterrent.

“So I fear that we can see the proliferation, but I also think that it has more or less guaranteed that Iran will be a state of nuclear weapons in five to 10 years.”

‘No increase in radiation levels’

The Iranian nuclear agency declared on Sunday the data of the radiation system and the field surveys do not show signs of contamination or danger for residents near the sites.

“Following the illegal American attack on Ford, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites, field surveys and radiation systems have shown: no registered contamination,” the organization said in an article on social networks, adding that there was no danger for residents around.

Shortly after the attacks, the agency insisted that its work would not stop.

“The organization of atomic energy of Iran assures the great Iranian nation that despite the perverse plots of its enemies, with the efforts of thousands of its scientists and revolutionary and motivated experts, it will not stop the development of this national industry, which is the result of the blood of nuclear martyrs, to stop,” he said in a statement.

Later Sunday, the UN International Atomic Energy Agency said it had not detected any increase in radiation levels at the main nuclear sites in Iran after American air strikes.

“After attacks against three nuclear sites in Iran … The IAEA can confirm that no increase in out-of-site radiation levels was reported at that time,” said the nuclear watchdog on X.

Parsi of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, said it was likely that Iran had taken precautionary measures before American attacks.

“It seems that they have already obtained an advanced warning-but I think that even that, when Trump said that he will make a decision in two weeks, I do not think that the Iranians took it seriously,” he told Al Jazeera.

“They understood that he was buying to try the time while moving military assets to strike. So, I think that for a certain time, they have moved these assets – where they are is not clear at this stage. ”

Parsi said that Iran’s most precious nuclear asset is its enriched uranium stock.

“As long as they continue to have this, they still have a nuclear program that could still be armed,” he added.

“And I think we are going to start hearing the Israelis in a short term, that it was not the type of successful shot that Trump said, but they will start to plead that it takes a more in progress campaign against Iran.”

“Catastrophic consequences”

Al Jazeera’s correspondent Kimberly Halkett said Trump had been informed that the bomb attacks would allow the dismantling of the Iranian nuclear program.

“Donald Trump was informed that, as commander -in -chief, it will not lead to climbing,” reported Halkett at Washington, DC. “But he knows that there is a chance that there can be an escalation following his action.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump’s decision to attack Iran.

“Congratulations, President Trump. Your daring decision to target Iran’s nuclear installations with the impressive and just power of the United States will change history,” said Netanyahu.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said he was “seriously alarmed” by “dangerous escalation” of American strikes.

“There is an increasing risk that this conflict can quickly become uncontrollable-with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region and the world,” he said in a statement.

At least 430 people were killed and 3,500 injured in Iran since Israel began his attacks, Iranian news managed by the state said, citing the Ministry of Health.

In Israel, 24 civilians were killed by Iranian missile attacks, according to local authorities, in the worst direct conflict between long -standing enemies. More than 450 Iranian missiles were dismissed towards Israel, according to the office of the Israeli Prime Minister.

Israeli officials said 1,272 people had been injured since the start of hostilities, with 14 seriously.
