US EditionUS Joins Israeli Air Campaign with Strikes on Three Iranian Nuclear Sites
- On Saturday, June 21, 2025, President Donald Trump announced from the White House that American forces, working alongside Israel, carried out attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—employing bunker-buster bombs and cruise missiles to target these sites.
- The strikes followed Iran's refusal to choose peace despite repeated opportunities, with U.S. leaders citing the threat of Iran's nuclear program to American lives, Israel, and regional stability.
- The operation involved six 30,000-pound bombs dropped on Fordow and 30 Tomahawk missiles fired by submarines at Natanz and Isfahan, while major U.S. cities increased police presence around religious centers amid heightened security concerns.
- President Trump hailed the operation as a "spectacular military success," asserting that the targeted sites were "completely and totally obliterated," while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep concern over the strikes, describing them as a serious risk to global peace and security and calling for calm to prevent devastating outcomes.
- The strikes triggered domestic criticism for bypassing Congressional approval, raising war risks and accountability concerns, though supporters assert the action was targeted and necessary to prevent nuclear proliferation and preserve peace through strength.
