Tehran: Iran has accused the United States and Israel of crossing a significant red line following U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that American forces had “obliterated” Iran’s main nuclear sites overnight using massive bunker-busting bombs. This operation was conducted in coordination with an Israeli assault, marking a substantial escalation in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

According to France24.com, Iranian official Araqchi, speaking from Istanbul, stated that Tehran is currently evaluating its options for retaliation. The official further indicated that Iran would consider engaging in diplomatic discussions only after executing its response to the attacks. This development indicates a potential further escalation of tensions in the region, with the possibility of military and diplomatic repercussions.
