Tensions Soar as US Targets Iranian Nuclear Sites

Israel's Airport Authority closed its airspace following US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, escalating regional tensions. The US struck at three locations, intensifying its involvement in Israel's campaign against Iran's nuclear program. Iran reported no radioactive contamination, calming immediate fears of environmental harm from the strikes.

Israel's Airport Authority has announced the closure of the nation's airspace to all flights in response to the United States' military action against Iranian nuclear sites. The agency cited 'recent developments' for this decision but did not specify how long the closure would remain in effect.

The US conducted airstrikes on three targets in Iran on Sunday morning as a strategic intervention in Israel's ongoing efforts to dismantle Iran's nuclear program. This risky move aims to weaken a persistent adversary, though it carries the potential to ignite broader regional conflict.

Despite the US attacks, Iranian authorities, including its National Nuclear Safety System Centre, have confirmed no radioactive contamination following the strikes at Isfahan, Fordo, and Natanz facilities. The International Atomic Energy Agency corroborated these findings, noting no hazardous material release from the sites.
