On June 21, 2025, President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States had launched airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, marking a major escalation in the conflict. The attack was carried out using B-2 stealth bombers equipped with powerful bunker-buster bombs capable of penetrating the deeply buried and heavily fortified Fordow site.
Fordow, located near the city of Qom, is one of Iran’s most secure and secretive nuclear facilities. Built deep underground to withstand conventional attacks, it has been a key location for uranium enrichment, raising significant international concern over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Trump described the operation as a “very successful attack,” stating that all aircraft safely exited Iranian airspace after delivering their payloads. This direct U.S. strike follows a series of Israeli airstrikes aimed at crippling Iran’s nuclear program.
The bombing of Fordow has heightened fears of retaliation from Iran, which has previously vowed severe consequences for any attacks on its nuclear infrastructure. The situation remains extremely volatile, with the international community closely watching for Iran’s next moves and the broader impact on regional stability.
