Trump: U.S. Has Bombed Iran’s Fordo Nuclear Facility and Two Other Strategic Sites
🚨 BREAKING: U.S. Enters War With Iran, Bombs Nuclear Sites in Major Escalation
Washington, D.C. — June 22, 2025
In a dramatic turn of events, the United States has officially entered the war between Israel and Iran. President Donald Trump announced Saturday night that American warplanes carried out precision airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities — including Fordo, Natanz, and a storage site near Isfahan — marking a massive escalation in the Middle East conflict.
“All planes are now outside of Iranian airspace,” Trump said in a late-night social media post. “A full payload was dropped on Fordo,” referring to the underground nuclear complex considered one of Iran’s most secure sites.
This is the first time U.S. forces have directly targeted Iranian nuclear infrastructure in the conflict that erupted after Israel’s surprise attacks on June 13. The latest strikes, aimed at crippling Iran’s nuclear capability, came after days of uncertainty over whether Washington would intervene.
Targets Confirmed:
- Fordo Nuclear Facility – Iran’s most heavily fortified underground site.
- Natanz Enrichment Plant – Previously hit by Israeli strikes earlier this week.
- Isfahan Storage Site – Believed to house near-weapons-grade enriched uranium.
Iranian officials, speaking anonymously, confirmed strikes on Fordo and Natanz occurred around 2:30 a.m. local time.
Shift in U.S. Stance
The strikes mark a stark reversal for President Trump, who had previously vowed to avoid entanglement in foreign wars. Only days earlier, Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted the U.S. had no involvement in Israeli strikes. But Trump’s rhetoric shifted rapidly. On Tuesday, he directly threatened Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, calling him “an easy target” and warning that “our patience is growing thin.”
Trump said the mission’s objective is clear: prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon — a goal aligned with Israel’s strategy. Officials confirmed only American bunker-busting bombs were capable of penetrating Fordo’s hardened defenses.
Regional Fallout
- Iran Responds: Tehran launched missile barrages and drone strikes into Israel following the American intervention.
- High-Profile Deaths: Israeli forces confirmed the killing of three senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders, including two Quds Force officials.
- Evacuations Begin: The U.S. has started evacuating citizens from Israel and the West Bank, with options including cruise ships, chartered flights, and military aircraft.
Looking Ahead
As the U.S. becomes fully embroiled in the conflict, analysts warn of an unpredictable and volatile new phase. With nuclear tensions rising and Iran vowing retaliation, the region could be heading toward a broader, multi-front war.
