“Bullseye!”: Trump Boasts of Damage Seen in Fordo After U.S. Strike on Iran

Introduction to the American Airstrike

In a significant military action, the U.S. Air Force launched strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan over a day ago. Reports regarding the damage remain sparse, predominantly due to an information blackout from Iran, which has encircled the sites and restricted access for observers. As a result, the international community relies largely on satellite imagery to gauge the impact of the strikes.

Trump’s Claims of Extensive Damage

U.S. President Donald Trump took to social media platform Truth Social, asserting that “massive damage” was inflicted upon all nuclear sites in Iran. He described the destruction observed in satellite images as “accurate terminology,” highlighting that the facility depicted in the images is deeply embedded within the rock, with much of its structure located well beneath ground level and completely shielded from flames. “The most significant damage occurred well below ground. Bullseye!” Trump stated.

Upcoming National Security Discussions

Today at 1:00 PM EDT (8:00 PM Israeli time), President Trump is set to convene a meeting with his national security team to review the outcomes of the U.S. operations against Iran’s three nuclear complexes.

Israeli Government Response

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the U.S. military operation in a press conference yesterday, noting that “the results of the American strike are still unclear and under review.” Nevertheless, he affirmed Israel’s commitment to neutralizing the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions, “even if it requires additional military actions.”

Details of the Operation

During the U.S. operation, dubbed “Midnight Hammer,” three B-2 bombers were dispatched to the Fordo facility, which is used for high-grade uranium enrichment and is believed by international experts to be critical to Iran’s nuclear program. The site is located approximately 90 meters underground and is fortified by air defense systems.

Each B-2 bomber was reportedly equipped with two bunker-busting bombs manufactured in the U.S., commonly referred to as “bunker busters.” The additional sites in Natanz and Isfahan were targeted by American submarines launching Tomahawk missiles.

Conclusion

As global tensions remain high following the U.S. airstrikes, both military officials and political leaders continue to assess the ramifications of these actions on the international stage. The full extent of the damage remains to be seen, as information from within Iran is tightly controlled
