In a dramatic turn of global events, former President Donald Trump has revealed that the United States has launched precision airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites – a move that’s sending shockwaves across the world.
Late Saturday night, Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to announce that U.S. military forces have bombed three strategic nuclear locations in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan (which he spelled “Esfahan”). According to Trump, the mission has been completed, and American aircraft have successfully exited Iranian airspace.
“Congratulations to our great American Warriors,” Trump wrote, signaling confidence in the operation’s success. Despite the aggressive action, Trump also declared, “Now is the time for peace.”
The announcement came earlier than expected. Just days ago, Trump indicated it could take up to two weeks to decide whether the U.S. would escalate its role in the growing Israel-Iran conflict. But earlier Saturday, B-2 stealth bombers were spotted making their way from U.S. bases to Guam – a move that signaled military escalation was imminent.
Reports also indicate that Trump spoke directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shortly after the strike. Military analysts suggest that Israel was likely briefed in advance, allowing for seamless coordination.
Reaction from Washington has been swift and divided. Senator Bernie Sanders slammed the operation as “unconstitutional,” while Senator John Fetterman offered rare bipartisan support, applauding the swift action.
The conflict between Israel and Iran has rapidly intensified in recent days, with Israel launching a surprise attack last week – prompting a fierce and highly publicized missile counterstrike from Iran.
As the world watches with bated breath, one thing is clear: America’s role in this conflict has dramatically changed – and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
