Since June 21, tensions between Iran and the United States have escalated following a coordinated military operation with Israel, in which the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities (Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan) with missiles and penetrating bombs. President Trump called the attack a"spectacular success" and warned that more could come if Iran does not seek peace.

On the afternoon of Monday, June 23, Iran fired missiles"at US bases in Qatar and Iraq" in an operation called "Blessing of Victory," Iran's official IRNA news agency reported Monday.

The international community reacted with concern.
