Trump Orders Surprise Strike on Iran's Nuclear Sites
President Donald Trump authorized a surprise military strike on Iran, targeting key nuclear facilities just hours after giving the order, according to U.S. media reports, CE Report quotes Anadolu Agency
The attack involved B-2 bombers dropping bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s underground Fordow enrichment site, while Navy submarines launched over two dozen Tomahawk missiles at Isfahan and Natanz. Trump later called the operation “a spectacular military success,” claiming Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was “completely obliterated.”
The strike came after weeks of planning and coordination with Israel, despite Trump publicly suggesting Iran had two weeks to respond to U.S. demands. A senior official said the goal was to act before Iran could react or relocate assets.
Iran downplayed the damage and vowed to continue its nuclear efforts. U.S. officials emphasized the strike was limited and not intended to overthrow the regime. Trump authorized backchannel messages to Tehran to stress the operation was not the start of a wider war.
Israel conducted parallel strikes on Iranian assets in Bandar Abbas, while Iranian officials refused talks “under fire” and warned of retaliation. Tensions in the region remain high, with further escalation possible.
