US conducts 11th night of strikes on Iran, president threatens nuclear site
Washington’s president warned on Thursday that the United States would consider striking a central component of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure if the series of attacks on Iranian facilities continued. The statement came as Iran reported the eleventh consecutive night of strikes targeting sites it says are linked to its nuclear program, prompting heightened regional tension.
The president’s remarks referenced a specific installation that houses critical enrichment equipment, describing it as a “key nuclear site” whose destruction would significantly impair Tehran’s ability to produce weapons‑grade material. U.S. officials declined to disclose intelligence sources or the exact timing of any potential operation, but emphasized that the threat was intended to deter further aggression and protect American interests in the Middle East.
The latest escalation follows a pattern of nightly assaults that Iran attributes to Israeli forces, while Israel has neither confirmed nor denied involvement. International observers note that the president’s warning marks a notable shift in U.S. policy, raising the prospect of direct American involvement should the attacks persist.
