American strikes target three nuclear sites
Agencies – Capitals:
US President Donald Trump has announced that the US military carried out a “very successful attack” on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the Uranium Underground Festival.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordo, Nanz and Isfahan,” Trump said in a post on his platform “Truth Suchs”.
He added, “I dropped a full load of bombs on the main Fordo site,” noting that the planes that carried out the attack left the Iranian airspace in peace while they were on their way back.
According to sources in the Pentagon, the American strike targeted the vital infrastructure associated with uranium enrichment and the development of centrifuges, especially in the facilities of Natanz and Isfahan, where the research centers and techniques support the Iranian nuclear program are located.
Analysts pointed out that targeting the Fordo underground facility indicates high intelligence and technological capabilities, as the Iranians have always been considered the last line of defense if their other facilities were attacked.
On the other hand, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqji stressed that the American strikes against three major nuclear facilities in Iran are “heinous”, warning that “it will have permanent repercussions”, and that Tehran “maintains all options to respond.”
In the first reaction, Iran launched an attack with dozens of ballistic missiles across Israel, and focused mainly on Tel Aviv and Haifa, while the Israeli army announced launching new raids in western Iran.
