Before President Trump ordered strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, Iran had warned him of severe consequences. According to *NBC News*, Iran sent a message through a middleman at the G7 summit, threatening to activate sleeper-cell attacks in the U.S. if bombed. These hidden agents could live normal lives until ordered to act. New York officials responded with increased security, especially around Jewish and Persian communities. “You always want to be conscious of lone wolves,” said NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
On Saturday, Trump launched airstrikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. “The US military carried out massive precision strikes,” he said, aiming to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Trump warned Iran that any retaliation would meet “force far greater.”
Iran called the attack illegal, accusing the U.S. of violating international law. “This will have everlasting consequences,” said Iran’s Foreign Minister.
Meanwhile, British PM Keir Starmer urged Iran to resume talks. The conflict between Iran and Israel also escalated, with deadly strikes from both sides. Human rights groups say 950 people have died in Iran, including 380 civilians. Trump called the bombings a “success,” while Iran downplayed the damage.
