Following US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, orchestrated jointly with Israel, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed retaliation. The US insists the strikes were limited, aiming to halt Iran's nuclear program. World leaders urged restraint, while Iran threatened to disrupt maritime trade and attack US bases. Israel also conducted further strikes, and Iran responded with missile attacks on Israel. Despite the damage, Iran claims its nuclear program remains largely intact, and the situation remains highly volatile.
