US Iran Fordow strike: There’s no sugar-coating it on June 21–22, 2025, the US, under President Donald Trump, carried out precision strikes on three Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
This marks the most direct American military action inside Iran in decades.
- What Happened: The Strike
Night of June 21/22: Three US B‑2 Spirit stealth bombers dropped GBU‑57A/B bunker-buster bombs on Fordow. Meanwhile, Tomahawk missiles, fired from submarines, targeted Natanz and Isfahan.
President Trump declared the sites “completely and totally obliterated”, warning Iran to choose peace or face more serious strikes.
- Focus on Fordow
Built deep under a mountain—nearly 300 feet underground—Fordow was long seen as a fortress for uranium enrichment.
The U.S. used its first-ever combat deployment of the GBU-57 to penetrate its defenses. Experts say Fordow could produce weapons‑grade uranium in just weeks. Now, the US claims it’s destroyed.
- Damage & Radiation Risk
According to the IAEA and independent analysts, the enrichment facilities are not typical reactors and pose low meltdown risk.
Iran reports no major radiation leaks, though minor contamination inside Natanz is being monitored.
- Political Fallout & Global Response
Iran condemned the strikes as illegal and outrageous, promising “everlasting consequences” and reserving “all options” in response.
Israel and Trump allies global supporters praised the operation as a decisive blow against Iranian nuclear ambitions.
Critics, including EU leaders and members of the US Congress, warned of escalation, questioned legal authority, and called for urgent de-escalation.
- What Comes Next: Regional Outlook
Iran has already launched missiles at Israel, raising tensions.
US Congress is heated—some Republicans defend Trump’s actions, while others—and most Democrats—cite the War Powers Act and potential impeachment.
UN and global leaders are calling for an emergency session to avoid a wider war.
