In a bold show of force, U.S. jets flattened Iran's key nuclear sites overnight — delivering a crippling blow to Tehran's atomic ambitions and sending a clear message: the West will not tolerate nuclear terror.
In a stunning and historic move, U.S. President Donald J. Trump confirmed early Sunday morning that American forces carried out a large-scale airstrike targeting three of Iran's most guarded nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
The operation, described by senior Israeli intelligence officials as "a strategic masterstroke," comes after weeks of escalating tension between Iran and Israel, during which Tehran launched multiple missile barrages into Israeli territory, hitting civilian infrastructure including schools, hospitals, and synagogues.
Trump praised the American pilots, saying: "Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this."
He concluded the statement with a resounding message: "NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!"
The Fordow facility, believed to be Iran's most fortified underground nuclear enrichment center, was reportedly the main target of the strike. While no official Pentagon briefing has been released as of this writing, sources familiar with the mission claim that the strike involved bunker-buster munitions, possibly the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, designed to pierce deep underground facilities.
Cue Randy Newman singing “Political Science”.
Payback for all the American deaths this regime and its proxies have caused.
God Bless all the pilots and others involved.
THIS is what I voted for in November!

bammy deep in mourning!!!!
I’m with you.
I was 19 when the 444 days of American humiliation began.
Let’s make him KING!……lol
Yes you will die and stand before God...
I guess Tulsi was right … they don’t have a bomb … anymore
In the last 48 hours, there were several stories about Iran refusing to talk.
Oh, well. I believe they received a message. Many of the other countries in the area cannot openly support this action, but they are smiling indoors.
Nary a negative comment. Hopefully no radiation was released due to the US bombing. Also hope in one year America’s mother s and sons will still be celebrating.
He gave them a chance to negotiate. They told him that they did not negotiate. So he decided to act.
This should be an object lesson to the rest of the world. When President Trump offers you an opportunity to negotiate..........take the offer and make a fair deal....or get delivered his perspective of what a fair deal looks like.
This was a message to China, a message to Putin, a message to the EU, a message to Ukraine, and a message to members of the Democratic Party elite.
Go Trump. Make America Great Again.
Ditto on the “payback” … been waiting 45 years
Where?
In a Wednesday interview with Al Jazeera, Esmail Baghaei, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, said, “Any American intervention would be a recipe for an all-out war in the region.”
We are sure our Arab countries hosting US bases would not allow their territory to be used against their Muslim neighbors.”
The 47th president told reporters that he is demanding that Iran accept an “unconditional surrender,” adding, “
For 40 years they’ve been saying death to America, death to Israel, that to anybody else that they didn’t like. They were bullies. They were schoolyard bullies. And now they’re not bullies anymore. But we’ll see what happens. Look, nothing’s finished until it’s finished. You know, war is very complex.”
In response to Trump’s Truth Social post on Tuesday regarding Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER,” Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei tweeted, “The US President threatens us. With his absurd rhetoric, he demands that the Iranian people surrender to him. They should make threats against those who are afraid of being threatened. The Iranian nation isn’t frightened by such threats.”
According to Al Jazeera, in a speech on Iran’s state television, Khamenei emphasized that Iran “will never surrender” and warned that the United States “should know that any military intervention will undoubtedly result in irreparable damage.”

They probably sent payment in advance for the ordnance but put down the wrong delivery address.
