Following U.S. airstrikes on three major Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan—Donald Trump confirmed the operation on Truth Social, stating: *“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped… All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors.”* He warned Iran: *“ANY RETALIATION… WILL BE MET WITH FORCE FAR GREATER.”*

Despite the warning, Iran reportedly retaliated on June 23 by targeting Ain al-Asad, a major U.S. base in the Middle East. Qatar confirmed no casualties.

Trump’s administration is actively monitoring the situation, with the president in the Situation Room ahead of a planned security meeting. A White House statement said they’re “aware of, and closely monitoring, potential threats.”

Tensions have escalated further with Russia warning that U.S. involvement could *“radically destabilise the entire situation.”* Russia’s spokesperson added: *“Nuclear facilities are being struck… Where is the concern from the entire world community?”*

Meanwhile, Trump defended his actions, declaring: *“IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I’ve had it. No more.”*

Despite warnings, Trump has signaled willingness for more action unless Iran abandons its nuclear ambitions. Russia’s President Putin urged diplomacy, saying final decisions rest with Iran and Israel.
