U.S. Strikes Iran Nuclear Sites, Trump Claims Success

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine are scheduled to brief the press on Sunday regarding the recent military actions. The briefing will provide updates on President Trump's decision to target Iranian nuclear facilities.

President Trump announced on Saturday evening that the United States had launched strikes against Iranian nuclear sites located at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. Later that night, during a national address, he stated that these sites had been "completely and totally obliterated."

The President, accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance at the White House, described the strikes as a "spectacular military success." He also issued a warning, stating that further attacks would occur if Iran did not seek peace. He emphasized the speed and precision of the strikes, claiming no other military could have achieved such results.

Defense Department officials confirmed that three American B-2 bombers were utilized in the strikes on Fordo. Each bomber was equipped with two GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, also known as MOPs, which are bombs designed to penetrate hardened targets.

The Fordo facility, a high-grade uranium enrichment site, is considered crucial to Iran's nuclear program. The facility is located deep underground and was believed to be heavily defended. The MOP bombs were considered the most effective weapon for destroying the facility.
