June 22, 2025 — Washington, D.C. — Former U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that American forces launched coordinated airstrikes on Iran’s key nuclear sites late Saturday night, marking a dramatic escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran.
In a statement shared on his official social media pages, Trump declared that the strikes successfully hit Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities, all critical to the Islamic Republic’s uranium enrichment and nuclear development.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran… 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… NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” Trump posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Defense sources in Washington confirmed that the mission involved the use of B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, armed with GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs — 30,000-pound “bunker busters” specifically designed to destroy deeply fortified underground nuclear structures.
The Fordow nuclear facility, buried under a mountain and long seen by Western powers as a serious proliferation risk, was reportedly the principal target. Officials indicated the strikes aimed to deal a decisive blow to Iran’s ability to enrich weapons-grade uranium.
The airstrikes mark a significant and risky development amid the already volatile Middle East landscape, especially with Iran under pressure from Israeli covert operations and its ongoing nuclear ambitions.
International response to the attack is expected to intensify in the coming hours as world leaders weigh the implications of a direct U.S. military strike on Iran’s nuclear program.
