The United States expanded its military action against Iran on Monday, widening both the reach and the range of targets it struck. According to the report, the attacks hit military bases, air defense systems and a city that hosts a nuclear power plant.

The development signals a broader campaign than earlier operations, with U.S. strikes no longer limited to a narrower set of targets. By going after military infrastructure and air defense assets across the country, Washington appeared to increase pressure on Iran’s ability to respond and protect key sites.

One of the most sensitive elements in the report is the mention of a city linked to a nuclear power plant. While the available details are limited, that aspect is likely to draw close international attention because of the risks tied to any military action near nuclear-related facilities.

The wider strikes mark a significant escalation in the confrontation between the United States and Iran. With the scale of the operation expanding nationwide, attention is likely to remain focused on the potential military, political and regional consequences.
