The US military conducted precision airstrikes on Iran’s three main nuclear facilities, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan overnight.
American B-2 stealth bombers dropped massive bunker-buster bombs on Fordow – 12 according to a US official who spoke to CNN. In parallel, 30 Tomahawk missiles fired by US submarines targeted Natanz and Isfahan, previously hit in Israeli strikes.
President Donald Trump described the operation as a “spectacular military success,” claiming Iran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities were completely obliterated to halt its military nuclear program.
The strikes, coordinated with Israel, aimed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, with Trump warning of using far greater force if Iran retaliates.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s decision to join the war, declaring that it will change history by denying the world’s most dangerous regime nuclear weapons. He highlighted the strikes’ coordination with Israel, calling Trump a “huge friend” and suggesting that the attack will pave the way for regional peace.
Israel closed its airspace and restricted civilian activities following the US assault, anticipating Iranian retaliation. Iran condemned the strikes and vowed to continue its nuclear program, while state media declared US citizens and soldiers in the region legitimate targets for attack.
