U.S.-Israel Strikes Target Missile Sites and Naval Assets After Nuclear Talks Collapse; Tehran Vows Retaliation as Region Braces for Wider War
In a dramatic escalation that reshapes the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East, President Donald Trump announced the launch of “major combat operations” against Iran early Saturday, following weeks of stalled nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
The United States, acting in coordination with Israel under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, carried out a sweeping military campaign targeting Iranian missile infrastructure, naval assets, and key defense facilities. The strikes, which included dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from U.S. warships and coordinated air operations involving American fighter aircraft, signal one of the most significant U.S. military offensives in the region in years.
