In a stunning military escalation, the United States has carried out coordinated airstrikes targeting three critical Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. The attack, executed with the advanced GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs, marks one of the most forceful military actions taken by Washington in the Middle East in recent years.
According to defense analysts, the Fordo site, which lies deep within a mountain south of Tehran, was a primary target due to its strategic importance to Iran’s uranium enrichment operations. While the full extent of damage remains unclear, the strike was aimed at disrupting Iran’s ability to develop nuclear capabilities.
President Donald Trump, speaking at a press conference alongside top security officials, hailed the operation as a “spectacular military success,” asserting that the “nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.”
Iranian authorities have acknowledged the attacks but downplayed their impact, claiming that sensitive materials were moved before the bombing. However, Tehran’s foreign minister issued a stern warning, vowing that the strikes would have "everlasting consequences."
Global reactions have been mixed. While Saudi Arabia and the UK expressed cautious support, the UN Secretary General and the EU urged all parties to de-escalate and return to negotiations. Meanwhile, Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes on Israel, injuring several civilians and raising fears of a broader regional conflict.
Experts believe Iran faces three main strategic choices: refrain from retaliation and pursue diplomacy, strike back aggressively, or delay its response for a more calculated future attack. Each path carries serious geopolitical implications.
With tensions spiraling and the risk of all-out war looming, the world watches closely as the Middle East stands on the brink of a new era of instability.
