In the late hours of June 21 the New York Tomes reported the at a number of American B-2 bombers carrying 30,000-pound bunker-buster munitions were used to strike the Iranian Fordo nuclear site.
This closely coincided with President Donald Trump’s announcement of attacks on the civilian energy sites in a Middle Eastern country.
The development follows the reported forward deployment of B-2 bombers to Guam and Diego Garcia, allowing them to generate sorties against Iranian targets more rapidly.
The B-2’s 18,000 kilogram GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb, of which each can carry two, is considered the only non-nuclear asset capable of potentially penetrating Iran’s most heavily fortified facilities such as the Fordow enrichment site.
The Fordow facility is a was constructed an estimated 80 meters underground, with its hardening overseen by specialists from North Korea in the 2000’s.
Six GBU-57 bombs were reportedly used to strike the Fordow facility, while simultaneous attacks using 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched against the Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities that the Israeli Air Force had previously targeted.
President Trump has claimed that the Fordow facility was completely destroyed, while Iranian state media has stated that the attack only succeeded in damaging two tunnels around the facility.
The very high level of fortifications has long left the U.S. Air Force’s ability to target it using non-nuclear ordinance in question. The B-2’s are reported not to have flown from Diego Garcia or Guam, but directly from Whiteman Air Force Base on a 27 hour sortie.
Six B-2’s dropped 12 GBU-57 bombs on the Fordow facility. Two more GBU-57 bombs were dropped on the Natanz facility, possibly by a single bomber. Thirty submarine-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles were also launched against Natanz.
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi condemned the attacks as a violation of multiple international treaties, stating that Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people.
Iranian retaliatory strikes against American military facilities are widely speculated. President Donald Trump has threatened a far more extensive bombing campaign should Iran retaliate.
President Donald Trump has confirmed that U.S. forces have struck Iran’s three main nuclear sites. Trump said US forces had conducted very successful strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
He also warned Tehran it would face more devastating attacks if it does not agree to peace. Trump’s decision to join Israel’s military campaign against Iran represents a major escalation of the conflict and risks opening a new era of instability in the Middle East.
The strikes were a spectacular military success, Trump said in a televised address. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.
While the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump on his bold decision, Iran’s Foreign Minister warned that the outrageous US attacks on Iran’s peaceful nuclear installations will have everlasting consequences.
In a strongly worded statement early Saturday morning, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) condemned the aggression on the country’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, which have been claimed by the United States.
The agency said the three nuclear sites operate under the full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the brutal assault on them violates international law.
According to Press TV sources, air defenses around the three underground nuclear sites were activated and the attack was successfully thwarted, except for minor exterior damage at the entry and exit points.

The Lawless Zionist Nations MUST BE DESTROYED.
Iran attacked Israel, targeting Ben Gurion Airport, a biological research center, and decision-making centers, the IRGC stated.
Iran used the Kheibar ballistic missile against Israel as part of the 20th wave of Iran’s large-scale missile and drone operation.
Israeli life gas come to a complete standstill with people hiding in shelters, airport closed, and no public transportation available anymore.
Today Netanyahu proudly announced that he might have an idea where Iran’s enriched Uranium might be stored. So the entire US Bunker Buster B-2 mission failed to do the job.
Even earlier today the IAF launched another mass sortie against the Fordo deep mountain site, only to realize the Uranium was not stocked there.
Its probably stored near the Israeli consulate in Tehran, so when they try to blow up this site, they blow up themselves.
Perfectly analyzed, next step the failure of the nuclear option?
Whenever it might happen I that six (6) of Americas strategic bombers and one (1) submarine would come to be destroyed, it will seem like a step towards justice. Like Netanyahu, Trump has his own deeds for which he will be made to account for.Netanyahu has a legacy as a despotic Nazi child murderer who is a genocidal disgrace of humanity. Trump has sealed his own legacy to include deviant houseman or servant to the Zionist disgrace to humankind. It doesn’t mater what trump says now, any words that come from his mouth are loathsome and emanate from his fraudulent… Read more »
My heartfelt condolences to the noble and civilized people of the Islamic Republic of Iran for this barbaric act by the most lawless entity on the planet.
This barbaric act should serve as a lesson to those reformist who think anything less than complete submission to the Zionist and their backers in western capitals will satisfied them.
The time has come for Islamic Republic of Iran to completely withdraw from nuclear non-proliferation treaty(NPT). The Muslims summat need a nuclear umbrella which God the Almighty has chosen the Islamic Iran to provide.
May Allah strengthen you as He the Majestic promised.
