‘The Truth Right Now Is Buried in the Rubble’: Iran Retaliates over US Strikes and Plots Next Moves

  • On June 22, 2025, the U.S. launched coordinated airstrikes using B-2 bombers and missiles targeting three main Iranian nuclear sites deep inside Iran, including Fordo and Natanz.
  • The strikes followed heightened tensions as Iran threatened retaliation and the U.S. sought to curb Iran's nuclear enrichment, while Iran claimed its program was for civilian purposes only.
  • Initial assessments found severe but incomplete damage at the heavily fortified Fordo site, with U.S., Israeli, and American intelligence describing the destruction in measured terms amid collateral damage in Tehran.
  • President Trump stated on Truth Social that significant harm occurred below the surface, while Defense Secretary Hegseth warned that any Iranian response would be met with a much stronger military reaction.
  • Iran retaliated with missile barrages against Israel and vowed further responses, raising fears of regional escalation and global economic impact, including surging oil prices and calls for diplomatic negotiations.
