The attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities was practiced a year ago during joint US-Israeli exercises , ABC News reported per an Israeli source.

Israel and the US practiced conducting airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during the Biden administration, an Israeli source with direct knowledge of the matter confirmed to ABC News on Sunday morning. The exercises simulated offensive actions against Iranian nuclear facilities for the first time.

While the practiced and war-gamed scenario was planned in cooperation with former president Joe Biden's administration, "we did not think a year ago that this would happen now," the source commented.

 Iranian Energy: Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan Nuclear Sites Were Subjected to Brutal Attack

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said that Iran's nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan were subjected to a brutal attack early Sunday morning, which contravenes international laws, especially the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

✅ | America came, fired — and fled.
But Iran will punish Israel first — and far more severely.

🇮🇷 | What happened?

Trump announced on Truth Social that U.S. forces had carried out a major coordinated airstrike on Iran’s nuclear program, claiming successful hits on three key #nuclear sites: Fordow, #Natanz, and Isfahan. According to him, a “full payload of bombs” was dropped on Fordow, and all aircraft have returned safely, calling it a great victory and saying, “Now is the time for peace.” However, Iranian state media quickly responded, confirming that no enriched uranium was present at the sites during the attack, as it had been removed in advance as part of precautionary radiation safety measures. The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) confirmed there is no radiation leakage risk, and core infrastructure remains secure.

Attack Timeline (#Tehran Time):

• Pre-1:00 AM – Israeli drones activated Iranian air defense systems across several regions.
• 1:14 AM – Fighter jets were heard over Shiraz.
• 1:22 AM – Multiple aircraft noises were reported over central Iran.
• 2:04 AM – Two jets and a blast were heard near #Qom, where the Fordow facility is located.
• 2:13 AM – Another explosion near Kashan, close to Fordow.
• 2:38 AM – Loud explosion at Fordow, initially assumed to be drone interception.
• 2:41 AM – Explosion at Isfahan’s Atomic Energy site.
• 2:46 AM – Explosion at #Natanz nuclear facility.
• 2:55 AM – Widespread #GPS jamming observed throughout Iran.

Despite Trump’s claims of destruction, Iranian officials and local media presented a completely different account. The Tasnim News Agency dispatched a reporter to #Fordow immediately after the announcement. According to eyewitnesses:

• No massive explosions were heard.
• The area sounded similar to previous air defense activity, with no significant blast.
• No smoke, no fire, and no structural ruins were visible.
• Roads between Qom, Kashan, and Isfahan remain open with normal traffic flow.
• Provincial authorities confirmed minor damage but no impact on the core nuclear infrastructure.
• No radiation contamination has been recorded in the area.

According to Fox News, the attack utilized 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from U.S. submarines 400 miles away, along with six bunker-busting bombs. However, sources now suggest the strike was more of a strategic signaling effort, intended to pressure Iran rather than achieve tactical annihilation. Fordow’s fortified depth and location under a mountain make it one of the world’s most hardened targets.

The strike came on the eve of a scheduled meeting in Geneva between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and his French, German, and British counterparts. Iran interprets this as an attempt to coerce Tehran into concessions, especially concerning its missile program and support for resistance movements — both of which Araqchi had explicitly ruled out as non-negotiable.

If Fordow had truly been destroyed, one would expect to see unmistakable signs: massive craters, electromagnetic disruptions, emergency medical airlifts, seismic readings, and infrared fire signatures from under the mountain. Instead, what surfaced was a tweet from an account linked to northern Israel, falsely declaring “Fordow is gone.”

There is no SAR confirmation, no crater clustering, no multispectral flash data, no BDA (Battle Damage Assessment), and no underground combustion signatures. The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Fordow was not seriously impacted, and Iran’s nuclear program remains intact.

This may be the most expensive influence operation in bunker-busting history, one that not only failed to destroy its intended targets, but also handed Iran a propaganda victory. In military terms, Washington just escalated with zero strategic gain, while Tehran emerges emboldened, unscathed, and ready to climb the escalation ladder.

Death to America!

Statement by Iran’s Foreign Minister:

“The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear installations.

The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior.

In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defense, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people.”
