In a dramatic announcement on Truth Social, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that American forces launched airstrikes on three key nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. 🚀
According to Trump, "All planes are now outside of Iran airspace. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow." A spokesperson from Qom's crisis management headquarters noted that air defense systems in Qom Province detected hostile targets hours before parts of the Fordow facility were hit.
A senior Iranian state TV official explained during a live event that materials from these sites had been relocated some time ago, suggesting the strikes might have caused little significant damage. Additionally, a U.S. official confirmed that B-2 bombers took part in the operation, while several Iranian sources mentioned that the attacks occurred around 2:30 a.m. local time.
The move has set off heated debate. A Houthi official described the strikes as the "beginning" of war, and U.S. congresswoman Sara Jacobs criticized the actions on social media as an unconstitutional escalation that could risk plunging the U.S. into another prolonged conflict. 🤔
Stay tuned as more details emerge about this unfolding international incident.
