Islamabad, June 22, 2025: In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced via social media that American forces have successfully executed airstrikes on three critical Iranian nuclear facilities — Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Trump claimed the operation was a “very successful attack” with a full payload of bombs dropped on the Fordow nuclear site, one of Iran’s most fortified underground facilities.
“All planes are now outside of Iranian airspace,” Trump stated. “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!” he concluded in his post.
Iranian Nuclear Sites Targeted Amid Escalating Tensions
The attack reportedly focused on Fordow — believed to be central to Iran’s uranium enrichment — along with Natanz, another key site in Iran’s nuclear program, and Esfahan, a location tied to nuclear fuel production. While there has been no official confirmation from the U.S. Department of Defense, regional intelligence sources report explosions near these areas.
This surprise development marks a potential turning point in the U.S.-Iran nuclear standoff, especially amid growing Israeli Iranian hostilities. The implications for global diplomacy, oil markets, and regional security are likely to be significant in the coming days.
Trump mentioned the use of B-2 stealth bombers in the mission but did not detail the types of munitions deployed. The Pentagon and White House have yet to release further information.
