Breaking News: Tensions Soar After U.S. Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Sites, Global Fallout Escalates | ABP NEWS

<p data-start=”103″ data-end=”547″>The recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities have triggered a global diplomatic and military fallout, with the United Nations Security Council witnessing sharp divisions. While the U.S. defended the attack as a strategic move to dismantle Iran&rsquo;s nuclear enrichment capabilities and counter what it called the &ldquo;world&rsquo;s foremost state sponsor of terrorism,&rdquo; China and Russia strongly condemned the operation. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed massive damage had been inflicted on Iran&rsquo;s nuclear infrastructure, including facilities in Natanz and Fordow. He asserted the operation had eliminated top scientists and destroyed centrifuge factories, pushing Iran&rsquo;s nuclear ambitions back significantly. In retaliation, Iran launched missile strikes on multiple Israeli cities, including Haifa, causing widespread damage and injuries. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei issued a stern warning, vowing severe consequences for the U.S., and refused to accept what he called a forced war. The Iranian parliament also approved a proposal to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz, risking global oil supply disruptions. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security raised alarms about potential cyberattacks and domestic violence in retaliation. Former President Donald Trump claimed he received a direct threat from Iran regarding sleeper cell activation in the U.S. before the strike.</p>
