In a stunning turn of events, former U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed late last night that American B-2 stealth bombers conducted a targeted airstrike on three key Iranian nuclear facilities.
The sites — Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan — were hit with precision bunker-busting bombs in what Trump called a “joint effort to neutralize Iran’s nuclear threat.”
“The United States just hit three of Iran’s nuclear sites. No Americans were harmed. All aircraft returned safely. The world is now safer,” Trump posted on his platform Truth Socialearly Sunday morning.
🔥 What Was Hit?
According to early reports:
• Fordow and Natanz — two of Iran’s most secure uranium enrichment facilities — were the primary targets.
• The Esfahan site, believed to house advanced centrifuge research, also suffered direct hits.
These strikes mark the first time the U.S. has directly bombed Iranian territory since the assassination of Qasem Soleimani in 2020.

🛑 Why Now?
Tensions between Iran and Israel have escalated rapidly over the past weeks. Multiple Iranian drones and missiles were intercepted over Israeli airspace, prompting speculation that a broader conflict was brewing.
Israel began its bombing campaign earlier this week — but Washington’s involvement was unclear until now.
Trump’s announcement confirms what many feared: the U.S. is now actively involved in a military conflict with Iran.

😨 Global Reaction
As dawn broke, global leaders scrambled to respond:
• Tehran has vowed “severe retaliation.”
• Russia and China condemned the strikes as “reckless provocation.”
• Oil prices have surged as markets brace for regional instability.

🚨 What Comes Next?
While the Pentagon has not yet issued an official statement, military analysts warn that this may be just the beginning.
“This is a major escalation. Iran will not stay silent,” said Lt. Col. Robert H. Morris, a retired U.S. Air Force analyst. “The risk of a broader regional war just skyrocketed.”
