Trump says US conducted ‘major combat operations’ in Iran
The president announced that the United States has conducted major combat operations in Iran, signaling a significant escalation in tensions with Tehran after weeks of failed diplomatic talks.

Officials described the actions as a decisive military move, with casualties and targeted strikes against Iranian forces and facilities tied to hostile activities against U.S. interests.

The announcement sparked immediate international concern, with allies urging restraint while the administration outlined its justification and the potential for broader regional consequences.
