One of the biggest escalations in U.S.-Iran tensions in recent years occurred on Saturday night, June 21,
when U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States carried out coordinated airstrikes on three major nuclear facilities in Iran.
Trump said in a statement on Truth Social that the strikes were directed at Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan,
which are vital to the nation’s nuclear development and uranium enrichment projects.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
All planes are now outside of Iran air space. 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.
There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” Trump wrote.

The strikes were executed by B-2 Spirit stealth bombers using GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs,
which are massive 30,000-pound bunker-busting weapons specifically made to break through heavily fortified underground facilities, according to U.S. defense sources.
The only aircraft that can carry such a weapon is the B-2, one of the most sophisticated aircraft in the U.S. military’s arsenal.
Furthermore according to reports, the strike’s primary target was the Fordow facility, which is buried deep inside a mountain.

Western governments have long been concerned about it because of its high-level enrichment capabilities and potential for weaponization.
Trump’s message also emphasized that all U.S. aircraft had exited Iranian airspace without incident and returned safely,
signaling the end of what he described as a “precision operation.”
This announcement comes amid heightened tensions in the region following a series of tit-for-tat strikes between Israel and Iran
and growing concerns about Iran’s accelerated nuclear development following the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal.
While Trump celebrated the strike as a display of unmatched U.S. military power,
he also called for diplomacy in the aftermath: “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE,” he declared,
suggesting the operation was intended not as a prelude to war but as a calculated deterrent.
Meanwhile, Iran has condemned the strikes as a violation of international law and vowed to continue its nuclear program,
while international leaders remain on edge over potential retaliation or escalation in the region.
