US bombs Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan

On the night of 21–22 June 2025, the United States struck three Iranian nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

Operation Midnight Hammer involved B-2 bombers and cruise missiles. It marked direct US military intervention in the campaign Israel had begun on 13 June.

Donald Trump claimed destruction of the targeted capabilities, but a full damage assessment and the fate of nuclear material required verification. The observed strikes alone did not establish elimination of the entire programme.
