🧭 What Just Happened
June 21–22: The U.S., in coordination with Israel, launched precision airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—using B‑2 bombers, Tomahawk cruise missiles, and bunker-busters.

Trump’s justification: Prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and respond to escalating Israeli–Iranian conflict.

Political response: Bypass of Congress, heavy domestic criticism, and concern about U.S. returning to Middle East wars.

📜 Historical Context
1979 Iranian Revolution & Hostage Crisis
U.S.–Iran relations collapsed after the Shah was deposed and U.S. embassy staff were held captive for 444 days, beginning in 1979 .

1953 Coup & Pahlavi Era
The 1953 CIA‑MI6 coup overthrew PM Mosaddegh, installing the Shah—a catalyst for future revolution.

Cold War and Nuclear tensions
U.S. backing of the Shah continued until 1979; nuclear proliferation fears have driven sanctions, covert actions, and military standoffs ever since.

Recurring Gulf clashes Skirmishes in the 1980s (e.g., tanker wars, Operation Earnest Will) and 2010s Strait of Hormuz crises set precedents for asymmetric conflict.

Trump era rupture
U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018, reimposition of sanctions, and heightening proxy struggles across the region.

🔁 What Led to the Strikes
Israeli pre-emptive strikes (June 13) targeted Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and prompted Iranian missile and drone retaliation.

U.S. viewed Israeli moves as weakening Iran’s air defenses, prompting coordinated action.

Failed diplomacy: With nuclear talks stalled, and U.S. aligning with Israel and some Republicans, the U.S. took military action as a strategic pivot.
