 Trump Warns of Bigger Strikes After U.S. Bombs Iran’s Key Nuclear Sites

In a dramatic escalation of the conflict, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Saturday night that American forces had carried out airstrikes on three of Iran’s most sensitive nuclear sites — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. These locations are central to Iran’s uranium enrichment program, with Fordow and Natanz being especially fortified and critical to Iran's nuclear capabilities.

Speaking to the press on Sunday, Trump issued a stern warning: if peace isn’t achieved, more and even larger attacks could follow. “There will either be peace or there will be tragedy for Iran,” he said. Trump emphasized that the strikes were carried out in coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling it a team effort.

Netanyahu, in turn, praised Trump for the bold military action. “This decision will change history,” he said, applauding what he called a decisive blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The strikes came just two days after the White House had said Trump would make a decision on Iran “within two weeks.” According to a senior White House official, Netanyahu had been briefed in advance. The two leaders also reportedly spoke on Sunday, during which Trump told Netanyahu of the imminent plan to hit Iran’s nuclear sites.

What Was Used in the Attack

The strikes were carried out using B-2 stealth bombers — the U.S. military’s most advanced long-range aircraft. These bombers dropped GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, known as “bunker busters.”

These bombs are designed to hit deeply buried targets like the underground facilities at Fordow. Each one carries a conventional warhead and can penetrate up to 200 feet into the earth before detonating. When used in sequence, multiple bombs can drill even deeper — effectively destroying underground bunkers that were thought to be nearly untouchable.

The B-2 is currently the only aircraft capable of delivering the GBU-57, making it the U.S. military’s go-to weapon for hitting heavily fortified sites like Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Trump’s warning makes it clear: unless there is a shift toward diplomacy, more strikes — and more powerful ones — could be on the horizon.
