A momentous night in Washington and across the Middle East, a night that has pushed the world to the edge of a new and unpredictable precipice. President Donald Trump has just announced that the United States military has conducted direct airstrikes on Iran, targeting its most sensitive nuclear facilities. This dramatic escalation marks America's formal entry as a direct combatant in the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, a stunning reversal of the President's long-stated policy of ending America's 'forever wars.' The world now holds its breath, waiting to see what comes next.
