BREAKING: The U.S. and Israel launched a major coordinated strike on Iran Saturday, targeting military and nuclear sites across the country. President Trump says the goal is to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program and weaken its military capabilities.
Iran has retaliated, reportedly targeting U.S. bases in Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Bahrain. The Strait of Hormuz — a key global oil route — is now effectively closed, raising fears of rising fuel prices and broader regional escalation.
Explosions have been reported across Tehran and other cities. Civilian casualties are being reported, including at least one strike near a school. Protests are forming in multiple U.S. cities. The U.N. Security Council is convening an emergency meeting.
This is one of the most significant military escalations in the Middle East in years — and the ripple effects will be global.
