The conflict in the Middle East has taken on a new shape after Donald Trump ordered a US attack on three nuclear sites in Iran.
US Vice President JD Vance has stated that the United States is engaged in a conflict with Iran's nuclear program, not with the nation of Iran itself. Speaking on the issue, Vance affirmed that decisive action was taken last night to dismantle the program. "We're now going to have a serious conversation about how to get rid of Iran's nuclear weapons program permanently," Vance added. This statement follows a period of diplomatic talks between the U.S. and Iran concerning Tehran's nuclear ambitions. Iran has publicly vowed to defend itself against any aggression. Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed grave alarm regarding recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, underscoring international concern over escalating tensions.
