US Struck Isfahan Ammo Depot with Bunker Busters

The US used 2,000-pound bunker-buster bombs to strike an ammunition depot in Isfahan, aiming to degrade Iran's military capabilities amid escalating regional tensions.

  • On Monday, U.S. forces struck a major ammunition depot in Isfahan, Iran, using 2,000-pound bunker-buster bombs, according to a U.S. official cited by The Wall Street Journal. President Donald Trump shared video of the explosions on Truth Social.
  • The strike is part of Operation Epic Fury, a joint U.S.-Israeli military operation that began February 28 targeting Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure. Isfahan hosts uranium enrichment facilities and defense industries critical to Iran's strategic capabilities.
  • Officials confirmed a high volume of penetrator munitions was deployed to maximize destruction at the ammunition depot. The target site, located near the Zayandeh River, sits at the intersection of Iran's nuclear program, military infrastructure, and symbolic national importance.
  • Thousands of soldiers from the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division have started arriving in the Middle East, bolstering military capacity. Regional insecurity has disrupted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, with barely six vessels per day transiting compared to about 135 in normal times.
  • Trump threatened 'total destruction' of Iranian energy infrastructure if a deal is not reached shortly; Gulf allies urge continued military pressure, though Oman and Qatar favor diplomatic solutions to prevent further escalation.
