U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed a successful and large-scale military operation targeting Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities—FORDOW, NATANZ, and ISFAHAN. Using a strategic combination of bunker-buster bombs and Tomahawk cruise missiles, the United States military reportedly crippled all three sites in what Trump described as “a spectacular military success.”

Speaking shortly after the operation, Trump stated, “The sites have been completely and totally obliterated,” adding a direct warning to Tehran: “Now is the time for peace.” He emphasized that all U.S. aircraft returned safely, and the mission was executed with precision by U.S. Navy destroyers and stealth bombers. Trump framed the action as a final warning to Iran, suggesting any further provocation could lead to more severe consequences.
The strike follows a recent wave of Israeli air raids on Iranian nuclear infrastructure, a development that has drawn increasing international attention. The U.S. move, clearly aligned with Israel’s position, is being seen as both support for its ally and a demonstration of U.S. military dominance. Trump praised Israel’s resolve while stating that the mission was essential for maintaining global stability.
The international response has been mixed. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer reiterated that Iran must not develop nuclear weapons but urged for a renewed diplomatic approach. Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres labeled the strikes “a dangerous escalation” and called on all parties to exercise restraint.
Domestically, Trump’s supporters applauded his decisive leadership and strong stance against nuclear threats. However, critics voiced concerns over the legal framework of the operation, especially the lack of congressional approval, and cautioned that the strike could draw the U.S. into a broader conflict in the already volatile Middle East.
