US EditionUS on High Alert After Iran Strikes
- On Saturday, June 21, 2025, U.S. military forces launched Operation Midnight Hammer, striking three Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan from 6:40 p.m. to 7:05 p.m. ET using B-2 stealth bombers and Tomahawk missiles.
- This operation followed Israel's month-long airstrikes against Iranian nuclear and military targets and President Trump’s 2018 withdrawal from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal that limited Tehran's enrichment capabilities.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated the strikes overwhelmingly destroyed Iran's nuclear ambitions without targeting troops, while Iran confirmed the sites were hit but vowed to continue nuclear activities and detected no radiation increase.
- General Dan Caine reported 125 aircraft, including seven B-2 bombers that flew 18 hours from Missouri, executed the strikes; President Trump claimed the sites were “completely and totally obliterated” and warned of further attacks if Iran retaliates.
- The strikes triggered global reactions, including condemnation from Iran threatening retaliation, praises from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, heightened U.S. troop alerts in the Middle East, and calls for congressional briefing amid concerns over constitutional authority and escalation risks.
