The United States has also intervened in the Iran-Israel war, putting the entire Gulf region on edge. The attacks were carried out by the US's state-of-the-art B-2 aircraft, which are capable of carrying bunker-buster bombs, on three of Iran's main nuclear facilities. The attack, codenamed "Operation Midnight Hammer," lasted for 25 minutes and involved 125 warplanes. US President Donald Trump claimed that all three nuclear sites were rendered inoperable. The US planes attacked the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear plants. The B-2 stealth bombers dropped GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs capable of destroying Iran's underground nuclear facilities.

The US joined the attack as the Iran-Israel conflict entered its tenth day. This could create dimensions that could have far-reaching and serious consequences for the war in the Middle East. The US attacked Iran in the middle of the night without warning, changing its earlier statement that it would make a decision on attacking Iran within two weeks. Although Trump has written on social media that it is time for peace, the Israel-Iran war continues without a break. Iran has repeatedly launched missile attacks on Israel in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Iran's Foreign Minister says that it will retaliate against the US. With the US also getting involved, the shape of the war may change unpredictably in the coming days. The US is also on high alert.

The world's two superpowers, the United States and Russia, are currently engaged in separate wars. Russia has so far adopted a position that favours Iran. Israel plans to continue the war until Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei is ousted. It must be assumed that there is no chance of the war ending anytime soon. The world is watching closely to see if Iran is ready for peace talks. As a country that maintains friendly relations with all the countries involved in the war, India can play a positive role in peace efforts. There is also a fear that an American attack could lead to nuclear radiation. This is likely to worry the entire Gulf region.

The United States has military bases in Gulf countries like the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain. If Iran attacks these, it could cast a shadow of war over the entire Gulf region. If Iran takes steps, including closing the Strait of Hormuz, cargo shipping from the Gulf region will be disrupted and fuel prices will soar. This will make life miserable not only for the citizens of the countries involved in the war but also for citizens of other countries around the world, including India. If more countries become involved in the war, the result will be total destruction. Peace-loving countries, political leaders, and humanitarians should start intensive efforts to achieve a ceasefire. If the war moves to the next stage, the common people of the world will suffer its bitter consequences.
