Trump Hails U.S. Military’s ‘Spectacular’ Strikes on Iran’s Nuclear Sites

In a bold move that could reshape the Middle East, President Donald Trump announced a series of precision strikes by U.S. forces targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, calling the operation a "spectacular military success." The strikes hit three critical sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—aiming to dismantle Iran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities, which Trump labeled a threat from the "world’s number one state sponsor of terror."

Speaking to the nation, Trump revealed that three B-2 stealth bombers dropped six massive bunker-buster bombs on Fordow, a heavily fortified underground site that even Israel struggled to penetrate. Meanwhile, U.S. submarines unleashed 30 Tomahawk missiles on Natanz and Isfahan, obliterating key infrastructure. "All planes are safely on their way home," Trump assured, crediting the U.S. military’s precision and skill.

The president issued a stern warning to Iran: pursue peace or face "far greater" consequences. He hinted at additional targets, noting that future strikes could be executed "in a matter of minutes." The operation, described as the most complex of its kind, underscores a doctrine of "peace through strength," a phrase echoed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who praised Trump’s "bold decision" in a social media video, calling it a historic blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The strikes followed coordination with Israel and briefings to key U.S. congressional leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune. While Trump hailed the troops’ bravery, the operation’s success raises questions about the region’s future stability and Iran’s next move.
