Iran says it reserves all options on response to 'outrageous' US strikes
IRAN, JUN 22 – The United States deployed over 125 aircraft in strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, intensifying regional tensions and drawing widespread condemnation from Middle Eastern and international actors.
- On June 21, President Donald Trump ordered U.S. military airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan to hinder Tehran's nuclear development.
- The strikes followed escalating Israeli attacks on Iran, with U.S. coordination reportedly involving Pentagon planners and prompted threats from Iran warning of irreparable damage if the U.S. engaged further.
- The U.S. used bunker-buster bombs and Tomahawk missiles, achieving what Trump called a 'spectacular military success,' while Israel and Iran exchanged missile fire amid heightened alerts and evacuations.
- Criticism arose from multiple U.S. lawmakers and groups, including Rep. Thomas Massie calling the strikes 'not Constitutional' and CAIR condemning the actions as an 'illegal and unjustified act of war.'
- An emergency IAEA meeting was announced to assess nuclear risks from the strikes, while the U.S. increased troop protections and braced for possible Iranian reprisals amid broader Middle East tensions.
