US Launches Large-Scale Airstrikes on Iran Nuclear Sites

In a historic military operation, President Donald Trump authorized precision airstrikes on Iran's most fortified nuclear facilities, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, marking the first direct U.S. military conflict with Tehran in over four decades. The strikes involved B-2 Spirit stealth bombers deploying six Massive Ordnance Penetrators, or 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs, particularly targeting Fordow, which was reportedly 'taken off the table' due to the damage sustained. The operation was closely monitored live from the White House by President Trump and top officials, including Vice President James Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and others. The attack was conducted quietly, with news outlets still speculating about U.S. intentions while the bombers were already en route and executing the mission. The Pentagon confirmed significant damage to Iran's nuclear sites following the operation, which involved 125 warplanes and a combination of bunker busters and Tomahawk missiles. This decisive strike has heightened tensions across the Middle East as the international community reacts to the escalation.
