In a dramatic announcement that has sent shockwaves across the global geopolitical landscape, U.S. President Donald J. Trump declared on social media the “successful completion” of a U.S. military strike on three key nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
The tweet, posted from Trump’s verified account, claimed that all American aircraft involved in the operation had exited Iranian airspace and were returning safely. Trump emphasized the intensity of the strike, highlighting that a “full payload of BOMBS” was dropped on Fordow, the primary target.
“Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this,” he wrote, before concluding with an unexpected call for peace: “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!”
The announcement has not yet been officially confirmed by the Pentagon or the current U.S. administration. Additionally, no statement has been released by Iranian authorities regarding the alleged attack.
Global Reactions Awaited
The implications of this announcement are potentially far-reaching. Iran’s nuclear facilities—particularly Fordow and Natanz—have long been at the center of international negotiations and tension. If the strike is verified, it may significantly escalate tensions in the Middle East and provoke international responses, especially from nations invested in the Iran nuclear deal.
Experts Urge Caution
Defence analysts have urged restraint, pointing out the importance of verifying facts before drawing conclusions. “This could either be a legitimate strike or a highly inflammatory piece of misinformation. In either case, the consequences are serious,” said Retd. Col. Arvind Bhaskar, a New Delhi-based military analyst.
