Satellite images of Iran show fresh craters at nuclear site after US bombing
- The U.S. military launched coordinated airstrikes on June 21-22, 2025, targeting Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz in a mission called Operation Midnight Hammer.
- The strikes followed intelligence assessments that Iran’s program posed an imminent nuclear threat, despite earlier testimony that Iran halted nuclear weapons development in 2023, and Trump acted without congressional authorization.
- The U.S. used over 125 aircraft, including B-2 bombers dropping 14 GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles, causing severe damage to heavily fortified underground facilities.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated, "Iran's nuclear ambitions have been obliterated," while Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization confirmed the attacks but insisted its program continues and Iran launched 40 missiles at Israel hours later.
- The strikes intensified tensions with ongoing Israeli-Iranian exchanges, placing the U.S. on high alert for retaliation and signaling a conditional threat of further military action if Tehran attacks U.S. forces.
