Israel launched a preemptive war against Iran, targeting military leaders and nuclear sites. The U.S., under Trump, is providing significant military support, including potentially deploying bunker-buster bombs despite intelligence suggesting Iran isn't actively pursuing nuclear weapons. This action has drawn criticism, with experts highlighting the immense financial and human cost to the U.S. and questioning Israel's unchecked escalation fueled by extensive American military aid. Iran is retaliating with missile attacks, further escalating the conflict.
