The US launched airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, prompting a high alert for potential retaliation. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed the Iranian nuclear program was "obliterated" following Operation Midnight Hammer. President Trump warned of further strikes if Iran doesn't seek peace. International reactions were mixed, with the UN and some countries calling for de-escalation while others condemned the attacks. Iran's response remains uncertain, though it has threatened retaliation and launched missile strikes towards Israel. The IAEA is holding an emergency meeting.
