New Delhi: The Israel-Iran conflict has entered a “decisive phase” after the US bombed three major Iranian nuclear sites Sunday morning, feel strategic affairs experts, with some of them arguing it was Washington’s “responsibility” not to get involved in the military standoff.
The US attacked Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, bringing itself into the Israel-Iran conflict. Later, US President Donald Trump said the Iranian nuclear sites were “totally obliterated”.
Former diplomat and author Rajiv Dogra criticised the US move and said only time will tell whether there has been a “radiation leak or if that has been contained in one way or the other” after the strikes.
After days of threats and deliberations, US President Donald Trump waded into Israel’s war on Iran, targeting three of its main nuclear sites. In an address from the White House, he also warned Tehran it would face more devastating attacks if it does not agree to peace.
“The strikes were a spectacular military success,” Trump said. “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and obliterated.” In his over three speech, Trump said Iran’s future held “either peace or tragedy,” and there were many other targets that could be hit by the US military. “If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed, and skill.”
