US joins Israeli war against Iran, strikes 3 nuclear sites

Tehran/Washington, June
22 (IANS):The US military
struck three sites in Iran early
Sunday, inserting itself into
Israel's effort to destroy Iran's
nuclear programme in a risky
gambit to weaken a longtime
foe.
The decision to directly
involve the US comes after
more than a week of strikes by
Israel on Iran that have moved
to systematically eradicate the
country's air defences and
offensive missile capabilities,
while damaging its nuclear
enrichment facilities.
But US and Israeli officials
have said that American stealth
bombers and a 30,000-pound
(13,600-kilogram) bunker
buster bomb they alone can
carry offered the best chance
of destroying heavily fortified
sites connected to the Iranian
nuclear programme buried
deep underground.
