US Joins Israeli Air Campaign with Strikes on Three Iranian Nuclear Sites
- On Saturday, June 21, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that U.S. forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, joining Israel's air campaign.
- The strikes followed a week of Israeli air attacks on Iranian nuclear and military facilities after Trump's 2018 withdrawal from the Obama-era Iran deal and a two-month diplomatic push.
- Trump said B-2 stealth bombers dropped a full payload of bombs on at least the Fordow site and described the operation as "very successful" and a "historic moment."
- Iran's highest authority, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, cautioned the United States that any military action would lead to irreversible consequences, while Iranian officials promised harsher retaliation and maintained that their nuclear program is peaceful and not aimed at developing atomic weapons.
- The attacks have heightened tensions in the region, leading to Iranian missile launches targeting Israel, the U.S. organizing departures of its citizens from both Israeli territory and Palestinian areas, and political leaders insisting that Congress authorize any additional military actions.
