In a dramatic escalation, the United States carried out targeted airstrikes on three of Iran’s key nuclear sites, including the heavily fortified Fordow facility buried deep within a mountain. President Trump confirmed the operation in a post on Truth Social, declaring the mission a success.

“Our forces have executed a highly effective strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan—with precision and overwhelming force,” Trump stated. “All aircraft have exited Iranian airspace after delivering a full payload on Fordow. Our brave servicemen and women have accomplished what no other military could. Now is the moment for peace!”

The attack marks a sharp turn in tensions between Washington and Tehran, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.
