Tehran, June 24, 2025 — In a dramatic turn of events, Iran has declared its intent to respond forcefully to recent U.S. airstrikes that targeted key nuclear facilities across the country. The strikes, which devastated sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, have been described by Iranian officials as a “clear act of war.”

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the nation, stating, “The United States has crossed a red line. Our sovereignty has been violated, and our response will be swift, strategic, and unforgettable.”

In the early hours of Tuesday, Iran launched a wave of drones and missiles toward U.S. military installations in the region, including bases in Qatar and Iraq. While the full extent of the damage remains unclear, Iranian state media claimed “significant hits” on American assets.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei echoed the sentiment, declaring, “This is not just a military confrontation — it is a battle for dignity and independence.”

Meanwhile, the U.S. has placed its forces on high alert, with President Trump warning that “any further aggression will be met with overwhelming force.”

As the world watches anxiously, diplomatic channels remain largely silent. Analysts warn that the next 48 hours could determine whether this conflict spirals into a broader regional war or retreats into uneasy stalemate.
