In an overnight Strike, the United States has launched targeted airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan—marking a major escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran. The operation was confirmed early this morning by President Donald J. Trump in a statement posted on social media.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” the president announced. “All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!”
The statement comes amid rising fears of renewed conflict in the Middle East, as experts warn of potential Iranian retaliation and wider regional consequences. The targeted facilities—central to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure—have long been a point of contention between Tehran and the West.
Military analysts note that the Fordow facility, buried deep within a mountain, has been a symbol of Iran’s defiance, while Natanz and Esfahan are key components in uranium enrichment and nuclear fuel production.
Pentagon sources have confirmed that all U.S. aircraft involved in the operation returned safely, though official details on the extent of the damage remain limited.
World leaders are now calling for restraint, as diplomatic channels scramble to prevent a broader conflict. Iran has yet to respond publicly, but tensions are running high across the region.
