US Strikes a City Home to an Iranian Nuclear Site While Tehran Hits Oil Tanker Off Dubai Coast
The U.S. struck a central Iranian nuclear site amid escalating conflict that has caused over 3,000 deaths and disrupted global oil markets, officials said.
- On Tuesday, U.S. strikes hit Isfahan, home to a key Iranian nuclear site, sending a massive fireball into the sky. Tehran responded by attacking a Kuwaiti oil tanker in waters off Dubai.
- Isfahan houses one of three nuclear enrichment sites attacked by the U.S. during a 12-day war in June. Analysts believe the city stores much of Iran's uranium stockpile, enriched up to 60% purity.
- Brent crude prices hovered around $106 a barrel Tuesday, up more than 45% since the war began February 28. In the U.S., average gasoline prices surged past $4 a gallon, reflecting supply disruptions.
- The conflict has left more than 3,000 dead, prompting an emergency United Nations Security Council session on Tuesday. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insisted Tehran targets only U.S. forces, though peacekeepers were killed in Lebanon.
- Trump warned this week that if a ceasefire is not reached "shortly," the U.S. would broaden its offensive. Potential targets include the Kharg Island oil export hub and regional desalination plants.
