In a dramatic overnight operation, U.S. forces launched airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities, dealing a devastating blow to the country’s nuclear ambitions, according to President Trump. The facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan were reportedly “completely and totally obliterated,” with all U.S. aircraft safely exiting Iranian airspace following the strikes.
The president hailed the operation as a “historic moment” and praised the unparalleled capabilities of the American military. “There is not another military in the World that could have done this,” he declared, underscoring the significance of the strikes.
Heightened Regional Tensions
The attacks come amid escalating tensions in the region, with Iran vowing retaliation and warning of potential consequences. The strikes have raised concerns about the possibility of further conflict and regional instability.

Mixed Congressional Reactions
Congressional leaders were divided in their responses to the president’s decision. Some Republicans praised the strikes as necessary for national security, while Democrats criticized Trump for acting without congressional authorization and warned of the increased risks of war.
Iran’s Nuclear Program “Obliterated”
U.S. Defense Secretary emphasized the extensive damage inflicted on Iran’s nuclear program, stating that the overnight attacks had “obliterated Iran’s nuclear ambitions.” The scale of destruction has raised questions about Iran’s ability to recover and the potential implications for the region.
As the world watches anxiously, the long-term consequences of these strikes remain uncertain. Will this decisive action deter further Iranian aggression, or will it escalate into a broader conflict that engulfs the Middle East? The coming days and weeks will be critical in determining the path forward for the U.S., Iran, and the delicate balance of power in the region.
