U.S. B‑2 Bombers Strike Three Iranian Nuclear Facilities, Trump Announce

WASHINGTON D.C. (June 22, 2025) — President Donald Trump has confirmed that U.S. B‑2 stealth bombers successfully carried out airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites—including the heavily fortified Fordow facility—aiming to pressure Tehran back to the negotiating table.


Iranian officials acknowledged that the Fordow complex was hit, along with installations near Natanz and Isfahan. State media reported that no radioactive material was present at the time of the strike and that personnel had been evacuated in advance  .

Trump: Diplomatic Motive Behind Military Action

According to U.S. sources cited by CNN, President Trump authorized the operation hoping that striking hardened nuclear assets would compel Iran to return to negotiations. Officials emphasized that no further U.S. strikes inside Iran’s territory are planned—at least for now .

Political Fallout in Washington

Reactions in Congress were sharply divided:

  • Republican Rep. Thomas Massie condemned the strike as unconstitutional without congressional approval.
  • Democrat Rep. Sara Jacobs warned that the action risks dragging the nation into a prolonged Middle East conflict.
  • Meanwhile, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, Rep. Andy Harris, and Rep. Don Bacon praised the strike as a decisive move to halt Iran’s nuclear weapon trajectory and protect U.S. and allied interests.

Israel’s Involvement Confirmed

An anonymous Israeli official indicated that Israel coordinated closely with the U.S. on the operation. Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant described the attack as a bold action that makes “the world a safer place”  .

Civilian Impact and Local Explosions

Residents near Qom reported hearing explosions following the activation of air-defense systems at Fordow. The site, situated deep within a mountain—estimated 80 to 90 meters below ground—is renowned for its robust defenses and high-capacity uranium enrichment facilities.

Trump to Address the Nation

President Trump is scheduled to deliver a national address tonight at the White House, where he will detail what he described as a “highly successful campaign” against Iran. In a pre-release statement, he said the strikes represent a historic moment for the U.S., Israel, and global security—and that Iran now faces an ultimatum.

Photo: Dnevnik During a televised statement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the operation as a “criminal act under international law,” while threatening “everlasting consequences” for the U.S. Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei declared that any direct military involvement by the U.S. could spark an “all‑out war” across the Middle East. The U.S., which authorized strikes using B‑2 bombers and Tomahawk missiles targeting Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, describes the action as a decisive blow aimed at halting Iran’s nuclear progress—and insists it does not seek regime change. President Trump called the operation a “spectacular military success” and warned that ...
