Iran claims US strike hit near nuclear power plant

Tensions between the US and Iran escalated dramatically as Iran claimed a US strike hit near a nuclear power plant, raising alarms about potential regional instability. The US has been accused of multiple attacks, which Tehran says have killed at least 14 people and injured over 70. In retaliation, Iran resumed targeting US assets in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar. This cycle of violence underscores the high stakes and dangerous volatility of the US-Iran relationship, with global implications for Middle East security and nuclear proliferation.
