The United States has carried out a massive attack on three Iranian nuclear sites, according to a statement made by Donald Trump on Truth Social.
This bold move has sent shockwaves around the world, and we’re here to break it down for you.
What We Know So Far
The US has reportedly targeted the Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear sites in Iran, with Trump confirming that all planes involved in the operation have safely exited Iranian airspace.
The primary target, the Fordow nuclear bunker, was hit with a “full payload of bombs”.
This heavily fortified facility, built deep underground, was believed to be a key location in Iran’s nuclear program.
A Historic Moment
Trump has hailed this moment as “historic” for the US, Israel, and the world, calling on Iran to “end this war”.
The US President is set to address the nation on Saturday night, local time, to provide further details on the situation.
The international community is on high alert, as diplomatic efforts to stop the conflict between Israel and Iran have so far been unsuccessful.
The Road to This Point
The US had been weighing its options on whether to join the Israel-Iran conflict, which has been escalating over the past week.
Israel launched the initial attacks, citing concerns over Iran’s nuclear program and the potential for Tehran to develop nuclear weapons. Iran, on the other hand, claims its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
Military Might
Earlier on Saturday, the US deployed B-2 bombers to the Pacific Ocean military base of Guam.
These stealth aircraft are capable of carrying the 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, a massive bomb designed to destroy targets deep underground.
This deployment is a clear indication of the US’s military strength and its willingness to take action.
What’s Next?
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the stakes are high, and the world is watching.
With the US, Israel, and Iran involved, this conflict has the potential to escalate into something much bigger.
Stay tuned for further updates, and let’s hope that a peaceful resolution can be found soon.
