US Joins Israeli Air Campaign with Strikes on Three Iranian Nuclear Sites

  • On June 21, 2025, the United States launched airstrikes on three major Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan—from locations including Missouri and a submarine launch point.
  • The strikes followed escalating tensions after Israel conducted airstrikes targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites and were part of a broader campaign amid the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.
  • The operation, codenamed Operation Midnight Hammer, involved B-2 bombers dropping massive ordnance penetrator bombs and Tomahawk cruise missiles, with no reported fire directed at U.S. aircraft crossing Iranian airspace.
  • President Trump hailed the strikes as a "spectacular military success" that completely obliterated Iran's enrichment facilities, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned them as "outrageous" and warned of "everlasting consequences."
  • The strikes heightened regional tensions, prompted an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting, divided U.S. lawmakers over authority and legitimacy, and led to warnings of possible retaliation from Iran and its allies.
