U.S. involved in Israel-Iran war as B-2 bombers and submarine-launched missiles targeted Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan in a strike Trump hailed as a “spectacular military success.” Iran condemned the attack as criminal.
President Donald Trump has acknowledged that the U.S. bombed Iran’s most important nuclear sites, saying they were “totally obliterated” in what he called a “very successful attack.” The strikes hit the heavily fortified Fordow uranium enrichment complex, as well as places in Natanz and Isfahan.
In a televised address from the White House, Trump warned that unless Iran opted for peace, further U.S. strikes would follow. “Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success,” he stated.
It is said that the mission featured six B-2 Spirit stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base, each armed with GBU-57/B Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs), and an Ohio-class submarine that launched 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles. Fordow was hit with at least six bunker-busting bombs, while Natanz and Isfahan were struck by submarine-launched missiles.
The Pentagon has not officially released technical details, but U.S. media confirmed the use of America’s most advanced deep-strike capabilities. The B-2, capable of carrying over 40,000 pounds of munitions, remains the only aircraft in the U.S. inventory that can deploy the 30,000-pound MOP at cover operations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the operation, saying U.S. resolve would “change history.” Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, however, condemned the strike as “lawless and criminal,” asserting Iran’s right to self-defence.
Following the attack, air raid sirens were triggered in Tel Aviv and explosions were reported in Jerusalem. Iranian media claimed new missile launches had been carried out in retaliation. Tehran also said no radioactive contamination was detected at the bombed sites.
