💨 Abstract
President Trump has ordered the U.S. to strike Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, echoing a series of Israeli attacks aimed at Iran's nuclear capabilities. Trump's decision follows a shift from diplomatic efforts to direct military involvement, amid Iranian threats of retaliation. The U.S. targeting was influenced by Israeli success in weakening Iran's defenses and nuclear sites, using B-2 stealth bombers and bunker buster bombs.
