Overview

  • On June 22, the US military executed coordinated strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
  • Tomahawk cruise missiles traveled over 400 miles at subsonic speeds near 880 km/h and skimmed terrain to evade air defenses before hitting Natanz and Isfahan.
  • B-2 stealth bombers dropped six GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs to breach the deeply buried Fordow enrichment site.
  • Each weapon relied on advanced navigation systems—GPS, inertial guidance, terrain contour matching and digital scene matching—to ensure precision against hardened underground targets.
  • President Donald Trump described the operation as a clear warning and indicated that tougher measures could follow if Iran persists with its nuclear program.
