WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced earlier tonight that the U.S. carried out “massive precision strikes” on Iran’s three key nuclear sites, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, using B‑2 stealth bombers with bunker‑buster munitions and Tomahawk missiles. Trump described the operation as a “spectacular military success” and confirmed all aircraft exited Iranian airspace safely.

Iran’s nuclear facilities hit
Fordow, Iran’s most fortified underground site, was struck by six 30,000‑pound GBU‑57 bunker‑buster bombs dropped by B‑2s. Natanz and Isfahan were attacked with Tomahawks launched from U.S. submarines.
Trump warned that future attacks would follow if Iran did not seek peace. Iranian outlets acknowledged impacts but disputed full destruction and reported no radiation release.
ZOA’s response
Morton A. “Mort” Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, praised the White House and military. “President Trump made the right decision…makes the United States, Israel, and the entire world safer,” Klein said. He called the strikes “courageous” and thanked the U.S. for acting to prevent Iran’s nuclear breakout.
Klein emphasized that Tehran’s “Death to Israel” rhetoric and support for terrorism have made these actions essential. “We don’t make deals…we destroy their facilities,” he added.
Broader context
The strikes mark the first direct U.S. military action inside Iran and signal deeper American involvement alongside Israeli efforts to dismantle Tehran’s nuclear program.
Concerns have grown over possible Iranian retaliation and regional escalation. UN Secretary‑General António Guterres warned of a looming humanitarian crisis.
Weaponry and execution
The operation utilized unprecedented firepower, including the largest non‑nuclear conventional bomb to penetrate hardened underground structures. U.S. officials confirmed deployment of six bunker‑busters at Fordow and multiple smaller munitions at other sites.
