On June 21–22, 2025, the U.S. military, under President Trump’s orders, launched precision airstrikes on Iran’s deeply fortified nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Utilizing B‑2 stealth bombers carrying massive bunker‑buster bombs like the GBU‑57 MOP, alongside 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from submarines, the U.S. struck the subterranean Fordow complex hidden in a mountain and took down the key enrichment facilities at Natanz and Isfahan. According to Trump, all aircraft breached Iranian airspace, delivered “full payloads,” and exited safely—marking a rare, successful targeting of some of the world’s most shielded underground nuclear infrastructure.
This mission unfolded precisely as critics from the left—insisted that it was impossible. They dismissed the idea of penetrating Iran’s mountain-hardened bunkers, claiming intelligence gaps and impenetrable defenses made a strike unthinkable. Yet Trump’s team leveraged years of intelligence coordination with Israel, advanced stealth technology, and specialized munitions to shatter those arguments. When detractors repeatedly scoffed at the feasibility—labeling it unrealistic—it was precisely those critics who were left embarrassed as U.S. bombers completed the operation without a hitch.
