In a coordinated military operation named 'Midnight Hammer,' the US targeted Iranian nuclear sites, including the critical Fordo location. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance clarified that the objective was to dismantle Iran's nuclear program, not to instigate regime change. In sharp retaliation, Tehran warned of 'everlasting consequences' and hinted at possible defensive measures. Amid escalating tensions, Iran's UN envoy criticized the U.S. actions, warning of the risks of deeper conflict. The key question remains how Iran will respond to this aggressive move by the U.S.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized that the U.S. does not seek regime change in Tehran, focusing instead on halting Iran's nuclear ambitions.
US Vice President JD Vance clarified that the U.S. is not at war with Iran, but rather engaged in a conflict with Iran's nuclear program.
Iran's envoy to the UN condemned the strikes, stating, 'Iran had repeatedly warned the warmongering US regime to refrain from stumbling into this quagmire.'
Tehran vowed to respond to the attack, indicating that the U.S. strikes would have 'everlasting consequences' for the region.
