The United States, under President Donald Trump, has carried out attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities, according to an announcement made on Sunday (June 22, 2025). The targeted sites included Fordo, Natanz, and Esfahan, with the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordo as a key target. This action followed Trump’s prior statement, made two days earlier, indicating a willingness for diplomatic talks. Trump is expected to address the nation at 0200 GMT (7:30 a.m. IST), following the U.S. decision to support Israel’s military campaign aimed at Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. “A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.”
The recent escalation occurred amid the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Iran, which have continued for over a week. On Friday (June 20), the two nations exchanged further strikes. European foreign ministers engaged in urgent discussions with Iran’s top diplomat in Geneva in an attempt to de-escalate the situation, but the four-hour meeting did not result in any progress.
