New Delhi (ABC Live): US Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites : In a dramatic escalation, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that American forces launched “very successful” airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. These strikes followed Israeli attacks and, therefore, mark a dangerous turning point in the ongoing regional conflict.
Trump Issues Stern Warning: “Many Targets Left”
President Trump described the operation as a strategic success. Furthermore, he issued a strong warning to Tehran.
“Remember, there are many targets left,” he said during a televised address.
This statement clearly reinforces Washington’s resolve to halt Iran’s nuclear advancements.
Iran Condemns US Attacks as “Outrageous”
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian condemned the U.S. strikes. He described them as “outrageous” and warned that they will bring “everlasting consequences.”

IAEA Confirms No Radiation Leak After Strikes
In response to the attacks, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that no abnormal radiation levels have been detected at the affected sites.
The Agency remains in contact with Iranian officials and, in addition, continues to monitor the situation closely.
“Nuclear facilities must never be attacked,” said IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.
“Such acts risk serious consequences for people and the environment.”
Israel Praises US Coordination
In contrast to Iran’s reaction, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the U.S. action.
He stated that Israel and the U.S. acted in full coordination throughout the operation.
“President Trump made a bold and necessary decision,” Netanyahu said.
“It was a joint move to defend global security.”
Civilian Death Toll Mounts on Both Sides
As a result of the conflict, Iran reports that over 400 people have been killed since Israel began its strikes on June 13. Moreover, more than 3,000 people have been injured, according to Iranian officials.
In retaliation, Iran has launched missiles into Israeli territory. Consequently, Israeli authorities have confirmed at least 24 deaths within their borders.
Global Appeals for Restraint and Diplomacy
Given the rising death toll and threats to nuclear safety, global leaders are urging restraint.
The IAEA, UN, and several European governments have called for an immediate ceasefire. Additionally, they are emphasizing the importance of diplomacy and non-military solutions.
