US and Israeli forces struck Iran’s energy sites hours after Donald Trump announced a five-day pause. Iran said the attacks hit Isfahan and Khorramshahr early Monday. A gas building and pipeline were damaged. Nearby homes were also affected. No casualties were reported. Trump had said strikes would be delayed for five days after talks. Iran rejected claims of any talks. Officials called the move contradictory. A senior source warned of strong retaliation if attacks continue. The strikes raise tensions and may widen the conflict. Iran said it is ready to respond quickly to any further targeting.
