Jerusalem, 22 June, 2025 (TPS-IL) -- US President Donald Trump confirmed the US carried out airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan,” the President wrote on Truth Social.

“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” he added.

Shortly after, the President shared another post on Truth Social from an open-source intelligence account which said, “Fordo is gone.”

Fordow was too deep and hardened and deep for most conventional weapons. The US has “bunker buster” bombs, 30,000 pound deep-penetrating bombs which are believed to be the only bombs capable of destroying those facilities. Only the US has planes capable of carrying them.

Trump is due to address the US at 10 PM Eastern time.

Anticipating an Iranian response, Israel’s Home Front Command raised the country’s level alert, including bans on educational activities, gatherings, and workplaces, with the exception of essential businesses.

Fordow and Natanz are uranium enrichment sites. Isfahan is where raw uranium powder is converted into gas before being sent to one of the enrichment facilities. Isfahan also has several research reactors

Israel launched preemptive strikes against Iranian nuclear sites on June 13, citing intelligence that Tehran had reached “a point of no return” in its pursuit of nuclear weapons. According to Israeli defense officials, Iran has developed the capacity to rapidly enrich uranium and assemble nuclear bombs, with sufficient fissile material for up to 15 weapons.

Israeli intelligence also exposed a covert program to complete all components of a nuclear device. The strikes mark a dramatic escalation in what officials describe as a broader Iranian strategy combining nuclear development, missile proliferation, and proxy warfare aimed at Israel’s destruction.
