Overview

• The United States deployed B-2 stealth bombers armed with GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs and launched Tomahawk missiles to devastate Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities.
• President Trump hailed the operation as a “spectacular success” and said he consulted closely with Prime Minister Netanyahu before and during the coordinated strikes.
• Iran responded by firing dozens of ballistic missiles at Israeli targets, injuring at least 27 people and prompting additional Israeli air sorties over western Iran.
• The International Atomic Energy Agency reported no detectable rise in radiation levels at the damaged sites, even as Iran’s nuclear agency vowed to continue its enrichment program.
• U.S. Central Command has bolstered air defenses at Gulf bases and dispatched carrier strike groups as tens of thousands of American personnel remain on high alert.
