President Donald Trump announced that US military aircraft conducted precision strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, specifically targeting Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, using the powerful GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs. The GBU-57 weighs approximately 30,000 pounds, making it one of the heaviest bombs in the US arsenal, designed to penetrate deep underground. After the strikes, Trump called the military operation a success while expressing a desire for peace. Analysts suggest that the attacks represent a significant escalation in US-Iran tensions, particularly as they relate to Iran's nuclear capabilities.
The GBU-57, a 30,000-pound bomb, is specifically designed to penetrate well-protected facilities up to 200 feet underground, making it a key asset against hardened targets.
President Trump termed the military operation a 'very successful attack' and indicated that US forces executed a full payload strike against the Fordow nuclear site.
