Following a massive US airstrike on three Iranian nuclear sites, Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz, Iran has warned of “everlasting consequences,” according to DW. The strikes, ordered by President Trump after a week of Israeli-Iranian escalation, left the nuclear facilities reportedly “obliterated.” Iran confirmed the attacks but insists its nuclear programme will continue. As both nations brace for more fallout, the world watches for signs of ashes or accord.
- Trump said the attacks “completely obliterated” key Iranian nuclear facilities using bunker-buster bombs.
- Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization confirmed the strikes but vowed to continue its nuclear agenda.
- Iran launched missiles at Israel in retaliation and warned of “everlasting consequences.”
- UN nuclear watchdog IAEA found no immediate radiation leaks at the targeted facilities.
Ashes or accord isn’t just about war, it’s the question hanging over every decision between revenge and restraint—Iran’s defiance and America’s force signal a future caught between ruin and reconciliation.
When have you faced your version of “ashes or accord”, a moment where restraint could’ve saved something bigger?
