President Trump's bombing campaign aimed to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions, yet contradicting reports suggest that the strikes may not have destroyed key facilities entirely. Iranian officials report that they evacuated sites before the strikes, raising concerns that some elements of their nuclear program remain intact. The fallout could lead Iran to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and potentially accelerate its nuclear developments, undermining the very objectives of US military intervention. Amidst growing tension, the IAEA calls for peace and access to verify damage, yet the situation escalates as Iran retaliates with missile attacks on US bases.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared, "The [Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty] is not able to protect us," implying that recent US strikes have only escalated tensions.
While US officials claimed success in the airstrikes, satellite imagery has raised doubts about the devastation of Iran's nuclear facilities, indicating these sites may still be operational.
