US EditionTrump Increasingly Warm to Using US Military to Strike in Iran: Report
IRAN, JUN 21 – President Trump is weighing a multi-strike attack using the Massive Ordnance Penetrator to destroy Iran's underground Fordo nuclear site amid rising tensions and regional missile exchanges.
- On June 18, 2025, President Donald Trump declared that the U.S. has complete control of Iranian airspace and demanded Iran's unconditional surrender.
- This escalation followed Israel’s multi-day campaign targeting Iran's nuclear and military sites and a significant U.S. military buildup in the Middle East region.
- The U.S. has deployed advanced assets including two carrier strike groups, over 20 aerial refueling tankers, three Aegis-equipped destroyers, and stationed up to 45,000 personnel in the area.
- Analyst Rebecca Grant explained that the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, carried by B-2 bombers, can deliver precise strikes on deeply buried targets like Iran's Fordow nuclear facility, while Trump stated, "we know exactly where he is," referring to Iran’s leader but pledged restraint for now.
- These developments indicate a potential U.S. shift toward offensive military action against Iran, representing a pivotal moment with broad strategic and diplomatic uncertainties.
