U.S. strikes against Iran nuclear facilities 'incredible and overwhelming success,' Pentagon chief says

  • On June 22, 2025, U.S. forces launched a surprise strike using over two dozen Tomahawk missiles and 14 bunker-buster bombs against three Iranian nuclear sites in Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz.
  • The operation, named 'Operation Midnight,' was planned as a bold and highly classified mission after months of preparation and amid ongoing diplomatic talks disrupted by Israel and the U.S.
  • Initial assessments report severe damage at all three targets with no immediate radioactive leakage, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared Iran's nuclear ambitions 'obliterated' and praised the operation as an overwhelming success.
  • President Trump described the attacks as a remarkable military achievement, emphasizing the importance of his statements being taken seriously, while Iran and neighboring countries voiced serious concerns and warned of lasting repercussions.
  • The strikes intensified regional tensions, prompting Bahrain and Kuwait to prepare for possible retaliatory attacks and the European Union to urge a return to negotiations to prevent further escalation.
