June 22, 2025 – Washington, D.C. — In a major global shock, Donald Trump has confirmed that the United States launched airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The coordinated attack with Israel hit three of Iran’s most guarded sites — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Reports have emerged under the headline ‘US bombs Iran’, marking a significant escalation in international tensions.
Trump called the mission a “spectacular success,” claiming it has completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear program.
What Happened?
- In the early hours of June 21, US stealth bombers dropped massive GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs on the Fordow nuclear site, which lies deep inside a mountain near Qom.
- Cruise missiles were launched from US submarines and ships in the Gulf, striking Iran’s Natanz and Isfahan enrichment centers.
- Iran has confirmed the attacks but claims there were no radiation leaks and no casualties, though independent verification is ongoing.

Why Fordow Matters
Fordow is one of Iran’s most secure and secretive nuclear sites — buried 260–300 feet underground. It was believed to be nearly impossible to destroy — until now.
The strike proves the US can now hit even deep-earth nuclear facilities, changing the military balance in the region.
What’s Next?
Iran has vowed retaliation. Its Supreme Leader called the strikes “a barbaric act of war.”
Military analysts fear:
- Missile strikes on US bases in the Gulf
- Proxy attacks via Hezbollah or militias in Iraq and Syria
- Cyberattacks on US infrastructure

The Bigger Picture
This is the first US strike on Iran’s soil since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Many see it as Trump’s boldest military move yet — just months before the US election.
Some critics in Congress say the attack was unauthorized. Global leaders fear Middle East destabilization.
