Washington, June 22 (V7N) – U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that the United States conducted successful airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities, targeting strategic locations in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The announcement, made during a televised statement and reported by the BBC, marks a significant escalation in the Iran–U.S. confrontation.

According to a report from Reuters, a senior U.S. defense official stated that the operation involved the use of B-2 stealth bombers—America’s most advanced long-range strategic aircraft capable of penetrating heavily defended airspace.

Trump claimed the strikes were aimed at neutralizing Iran’s nuclear capabilities, though he did not elaborate on the exact timeline or the extent of the damage inflicted. “The United States has successfully executed precision strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities. We will not allow a regime bent on destruction to possess weapons of mass destruction,” Trump said.

The targeted sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—are among Iran’s most sensitive and fortified nuclear complexes. Natanz, in particular, houses key uranium enrichment infrastructure, while Isfahan is home to a uranium conversion facility. Fordow, built deep into a mountain, is designed to be resistant to conventional military attacks.

The Pentagon has not issued an official statement yet, and the current U.S. administration has remained silent as of the latest update.

International observers have expressed grave concern over the potential fallout of such military actions. Analysts warn that strikes on nuclear facilities, even if surgical, pose high risks of environmental catastrophe and could trigger a broader conflict in the already volatile Middle East.

Iranian authorities have not issued a formal response, though unofficial sources suggest retaliatory action is being considered.

The development follows days of heightened tensions and military exchanges between Iran and Israel, raising fears of a regional war involving multiple state actors. Diplomatic channels appear to be frozen, and global powers are urging restraint on all sides to avoid a full-scale conflict.
