U.S. Airstrikes on Iran's Nuclear Sites Mark Major Strategic Shift

The U.S. military has directly struck Iran's nuclear facilities—including enrichment sites at Natanz and Fordow—for the first time in years. This breaks a long-held assumption in Tehran that America would wage proxy conflicts through regional militias but avoid direct military action on Iranian soil. The strikes delay Iran's nuclear progress and reshape negotiations as Secretary of State Rubio pursues talks.
