Overview
- US B-2 stealth bombers struck Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities on June 20, deploying GBU-57A/B bunker-busting bombs to obliterate hardened targets.
- President Trump declared the sites “completely and fully” destroyed and vowed further precision strikes if Tehran refuses to negotiate peace.
- UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the operation as a direct threat to international peace and called for member states to de-escalate tensions.
- Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation confirmed the damage and denounced the strikes as contrary to international law, urging the global community to condemn the attacks.
- Lawmakers in Washington remain split, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune endorsing Trump’s action and Democrats including Hakeem Jeffries and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez labeling the strikes unconstitutional.
