🇮🇷The #Fordow Nuclear plant near the holy Shiite city of #Qom, which is said to be an inaccessible target for Israel, is indeed a seriously protected facility, and if the United States can qualitatively change something in the current conflict by intervening on the side of Israel, then this is exactly the case.
What to hit a buried object in a mountainous area with? The MOP – Massive Ordnance Penetrator, a 14-ton aerial bomb capable of penetrating up to 60 meters of soil, was developed specifically for such purposes in the United States. Considering that Fordow is reportedly deeper, more than one bomb will be needed. Of all the American aircraft, only the B-2 can carry it now. And here, of course, the biggest intrigue is whether the United States will really dare to strike and how effective it will be – this bomb must be dropped directly over the target, and in the Fordow area Iran has everything that can perform air defense tasks.

🇮🇷 | 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!
