Consequences of a US Strike on Iran’s Nuclear SitesA US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities risks a prolonged conflict and targets the heavily fortified Fordow plant inside a mountain.
- The US is considering military action against Iran’s key nuclear sites, including the deeply buried Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant.
- Such an attack could ignite a protracted war lasting through President Trump’s term, imposing significant costs on US resources and lives.
- Iran threatens extensive assaults on US bases in the region and may engage in a war of attrition to wear down its adversaries.
- Experts caution that while a strike might delay Iran’s nuclear program, it could also increase Tehran’s drive to develop nuclear weapons.
Let the Americans know that the Iranian nation is not one to surrender, and any military intervention on their part will undoubtedly result in irreparable damage.— Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, in a national address.
