Trump Confirms US Bombing of Iran's Fordo Nuclear Facility Amid Escalating Tensions

Today marks a stunning and deeply consequential shift in global politics. In a dramatic late-night address and a social media post that’s already reverberating across the world, former President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States has carried out direct airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites — including the secretive and heavily fortified Fordo facility. This is no longer speculation or veiled threat. The strike has happened, and the world is watching closely.

Trump took to his platform, Truth Social, to declare the success of what he called a “historic moment for the United States, Israel, and the world.” According to his statement, American B-2 stealth bombers — which had been quietly moved to Guam over the past week — executed the operation with precision, targeting three major nuclear sites: Fordo, Natanz, and Esfahan. The most symbolic and strategic of them all? Fordo. It’s a name that has long represented the core of Iran’s nuclear ambitions, buried deep beneath a mountain near the city of Qom.

Let’s be clear — Fordo wasn’t just attacked, it was destroyed, according to Trump, who reposted open-source intel stating, “Fordow is gone.” This was made possible using the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or GBU-57, a 30,000-pound bunker-busting bomb. Only B-2 bombers can carry this weapon. Dropped from high altitude, it punches through reinforced concrete and rock to detonate precisely where it's intended. If true, the strike would represent the first time this type of weapon has been deployed in combat at such a scale.

The implications are enormous. Iran has already warned that any U.S. involvement in its conflict with Israel would be “very, very dangerous.” Those words now echo with renewed gravity. The country has suffered extensive damage — reportedly over 400 deaths and thousands injured as strikes by both Israel and now the U.S. continue. Meanwhile, Israel claims it has eliminated top Iranian military leaders, including Saeed Izadi, one of the alleged architects of the October 7th attacks.

This escalation shatters the cautious guessing game that had been playing out over the last ten days. Trump had previously hinted at taking his time, saying he’d decide within two weeks. Yet, in typical Trump fashion, the action came with surprise and secrecy. He returned abruptly to Washington, walked straight into the Situation Room, and hours later, the bombs dropped. This is Trump’s foreign policy style: unpredictable, aggressive, and tightly held within his inner circle.

While we wait for official responses from Tehran and Washington, and as global leaders assess the fallout, one thing is certain — this conflict has entered a terrifying new phase. The stakes have never been higher. Whether this leads to de-escalation, retaliation, or something even more severe, remains to be seen. But tonight, the world is holding its breath.
