On June 21, 2025, the United States launched a military operation targeting key nuclear facilities in Iran. American B-2 bombers carried out strikes on three sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. This action was part of a broader strategy to address concerns over Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
The operation was closely monitored from the White House Situation Room, where President Donald Trump was joined by key officials, including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The White House shared photos of the meeting, showing the team focused on the unfolding mission.
After the strikes, President Trump addressed the nation, declaring the operation a "spectacular military success." He stated that Iran’s nuclear facilities had been "completely and totally obliterated." Trump emphasized that the U.S. would consider further action if Iran did not pursue peace, warning that more targets could be struck quickly if necessary.
The military action has sparked significant political backlash. Democrats in Congress have called for Trump’s impeachment, arguing that the strikes were unauthorized and violated the Constitution. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the decision, claiming it risks a long-term conflict. In contrast, House Speaker Mike Johnson defended the president, saying that Congress was aware of the urgency and that the president acted to protect national security.
The situation remains tense, with the potential for further escalation in U.S.-Iran relations. As the dust settles from the recent strikes, the implications of this military action are still unfolding.
