US renews strikes on Iran as Trump threatens underground nuclear site
US President Trump threatened to strike a key underground Iranian nuclear facility, as the United States carried out renewed attacks on Iranian targets ahead of the 11th consecutive night of the conflict.
US President Donald Trump threatened to strike a key underground Iranian nuclear facility, as the United States renewed attacks on Iranian targets with the conflict now approaching an 11th consecutive night.
Trump's comments have heightened concerns that tensions between the two countries could escalate further. A potential strike on an underground nuclear facility is regarded by experts as an especially sensitive scenario, given both regional security implications and the risk of nuclear contamination.
Iran has not yet issued an official response to the threat. Since the conflict began, no direct negotiation process between the two sides appears to have taken hold, while the exchange of strikes has continued without interruption.
