The geopolitical landscape shifted dramatically overnight as Donald Trump revealed U.S. forces had conducted targeted strikes against three key Iranian nuclear facilities. In a characteristically blunt Truth Social post, the former president named Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan as the targets of what he called a “highly successful assault,” confirming all participating aircraft had returned safely.
Military experts immediately recognized the operation’s sophistication. The inclusion of Fordow – a deeply buried enrichment site long suspected of housing Iran’s most sensitive nuclear work – suggests the U.S. employed specialized bunker-busting munitions capable of penetrating reinforced underground facilities. Reports indicate B-2 stealth bombers, capable of delivering such payloads with precision, had been positioned in Guam in preparation for this contingency.
