Donald Trump's recent actions towards Iran have been quite aggressive. Here's what's been happening:
Trump's Threats and Actions
- *Nuclear Site Attacks*: On June 21, 2025, Trump announced that the US had carried out a "very successful attack" on three Iranian nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. He claimed that B-2 stealth bombers were used in the strikes, which were capable of carrying
"bunker buster" bombs.
- *Previous Threats*: Before the attack, Trump had threatened Iran with "bombing the likes of which they have never seen before" if they didn't agree to a new deal regarding their nuclear program. This threat was part of his "maximum pressure" campaign on Tehran.
- *Iran's Response*: Iran had readied its missile arsenal in response to Trump's threats and had placed its missiles on a ready-to-launch mode within underground facilities.
Context and Implications
- *Nuclear Deal*: The tensions between the US and Iran are largely centered around the nuclear deal, which Trump withdrew from in 2018. Since then, Iran has surpassed the agreed limits on uranium enrichment.
- *Potential Consequences*: A strike on Iran's nuclear sites could escalate into a wider conflict, potentially drawing in other countries and proxy militias. This could lead to significant destabilization in the Middle East.¹ ² ³
Reactions and Updates
- *Truth Social Crash*: Trump's announcement of the attack on Truth Social led to the platform crashing due to high traffic.
- *International Reactions*: The international community is closely watching the developments, with concerns about the potential escalation of conflict in the region.
