- The Strike: Coordinated air and missile strikes have targeted Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, and Karaj.
- Key Targets: Focus remains on the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency and the Parchin military complex. Reports indicate strikes near government leadership offices in the capital.
- The Objective: President Trump has defined the mission as the “dismantling of nuclear capabilities” and has openly called for a change in the Iranian leadership.
Retaliation and Regional Impact
- Ballistic Counter-Strikes: Iran has launched extensive drone and missile salvos targeting US bases and Israeli cities.
- Gulf Security: Explosions have been reported in the UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar. Civilian airspace across the region is currently grounded.
- Casualties: Early reports confirm fatalities in Iran’s Hormozgan province and shrapnel-related deaths in the UAE.
Why Diplomacy Failed
The conflict stems from the February 27 breakdown of talks in Switzerland. The US demand for the permanent decommissioning of the Fordow and Natanz facilities proved to be a “red line” that Iranian negotiators refused to cross, leading to the current military escalation.
