U.S. strikes obliterate Iran’s nuclear program, targeting Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Experts urge sustained pressure to prevent Iran’s nuclear resurgence.

In a seismic shift for global security, the United States has reportedly obliterated Iran’s nuclear program with precision strikes on key facilities. On Saturday night, U.S. B-2 stealth bombers, armed with fourteen 15-ton bunker-buster bombs, targeted Iran’s heavily fortified Fordow facility, while 30 Tomahawk missiles from U.S. submarines struck Natanz and Isfahan. President Donald Trump declared the operation a resounding success, stating, "Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."

Jonathan Schanzer, a leading expert from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told WTFNewsRoom, "The nuclear program is no longer." Sources in Israel echo this sentiment, noting that only the removal of nuclear materials from Isfahan remains. Yet, Iran expert Lisa Daftari warns that without sustained pressure, intelligence, and sanctions, Iran could attempt to rebuild. "A temporary pause isn’t enough," she said. "The U.S. and allies must ensure Iran’s nuclear ambitions are permanently crushed."

The strikes, which followed Israel’s earlier attacks, mark a bold move amid escalating tensions in the region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was informed in advance, signaling tight coordination. The operation’s success hinges on destroying Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles and advanced centrifuges, a task experts say requires ongoing vigilance.

While Trump hailed the mission as a step toward peace, the strikes underscore a delicate balance: decisive action paired with the need for diplomatic isolation to prevent Iran’s nuclear resurgence. The world watches as the U.S. and Israel navigate this high-stakes chessboard.

Editor's Comments

Fourteen bunker-busters and 30 Tomahawks walk into Iran’s nuclear program—sounds like the start of a bad joke, but for Tehran, the punchline’s a crater. The real kicker? If Iran tries to rebuild, it’ll need more than a hard hat and a prayer. Sustained pressure is the only way to keep this ‘nuclear sitcom’ from getting a second season.
