U.S. Strikes Three Iranian Nuclear Sites by 7 B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers Aircraft

In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, the United States launched a powerful airstrike operation on three of Iran’s key nuclear sites. Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who is actively involved in directing military decisions, confirmed the attacks in a statement on his Truth Social platform early Saturday.

Which Sites Were Attacked?

The U.S. targeted three major Iranian nuclear facilities:

• Fordow — an underground uranium enrichment facility built deep inside a mountain near the city of Qom.

• Natanz — Iran's largest and most important uranium enrichment plant.

• Esfahan — home to nuclear research and fuel production sites.

These sites are crucial to Iran's nuclear program, and their targeting marks one of the most significant military moves in the region in recent years.

What Was Used in the Attack?

According to military sources, the U.S. operation involved:

• Total 125 U.S Military Aircraft Involved , in which 7 B-2 Spirit stealth bombers — long-range, radar-evading aircraft capable of delivering heavy payloads over fortified targets .

• The bombers dropped 14 GBU-57 "Massive Ordnance Penetrator" bunker-buster bombs, 12 on the Fordow site & 2 on Natanz, designed specifically to destroy deeply buried and hardened structures like underground nuclear facilities . Total 71 Precision Munitions dropped in this Operation named ' Midnight Hammer '

• The operation was supported by one U.S. Navy Ohio-class guided-missile submarine, positioned in the northern Arabian Sea, which launched 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles targeting key air defense and radar installations around Natanz and Esfahan, clearing the way for the bomber strike.

Why Was the Attack Carried Out?

This military strike comes amid rising tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States. Just two days earlier, Trump had publicly stated he would decide within two weeks whether to support Israel in its military standoff with Iran. However, increased intelligence about possible Iranian nuclear activities reportedly prompted immediate action.

Iran had threatened to retaliate against U.S. military bases and allies in the region if attacked. Despite this, Trump declared the mission a success and urged for peace following the operation.

“There’s not another military in the world that could have done this. Now is the time for peace!” Trump wrote.

Evacuation of U.S. Citizens from Israel

In parallel to the airstrikes, the U.S. Embassy in Israel began evacuating American citizens and residents from Israel and the West Bank due to fears of potential Iranian counterattacks on U.S. personnel and assets in the region. Former Governor Mike Huckabee confirmed on social media that the U.S. government was actively assisting its citizens in the region.

What Happens Next?

While the immediate military objective appears accomplished, the region remains tense. Iran has vowed to respond, and neighboring countries have increased their military alert levels. Analysts warn of possible retaliatory missile or drone attacks against U.S. bases in Iraq, Syria, and the Persian Gulf.
