The U.S. joined Israel’s conflict on Iran and over the weekend bombed three of the nation’s nuclear websites, together with Fordo, positioned deep inside a mountain.
Within the aftermath of the bombing, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump on the assault.
Iranian international minister Abbas Araghchi tweeted that the U.S.’s assault would have “everlasting consequences.”

NPR’s Andrew Limbong speaks with journalist Robin Wright, writer of “The Last Great Revolution: Turmoil and Transformation in Iran.”
