Report: Trump Is Preparing To Bomb Iran With Israel - News From Antiwar.com
The US and Israel are currently planning to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, an attack that could happen in a “few weeks’ time,” Daily Mail columnist Dan Hodges reported on Wednesday.
Hodges wrote the report while in Tel Aviv and cited Israeli political, diplomatic, and military sources. He said the purpose of the strike would be to “eradicate the threat” posed by Iran’s “nuclear weapons program,” although there’s no evidence #Tehran has a nuclear weapons program, a fact recently confirmed by #US intelligence agencies.
A senior Israeli diplomatic source told Hodges that Trump’s presidency offers the best time to hit #Iran. “From #Israel’s perspective, with #Trump in the White House, this represents the optimum moment to deal with Iran. There won’t be a better chance,” the official said.

🇮🇷 After Ukraine, Iran?, by Thierry Meyssan | Voltaire Net
For the "revisionist #Zionists" (that is, the successors of Ze’ev #Jabotinsky and Benzion Netanyahu—not to be confused with #TheodorHertzl’s "Zionists"), the time has come, after the victory over #Hamas, #Hezbollah, and #BasharAlAssad in #Syria, to crush Iran.
On the contrary, for Donald #Trump (#US), after the pacification of the Ukrainian conflict, the priority must be to pacify the one surrounding #Iran. The press has its eyes on #Palestine, but it is around #Tehran that peace in the Middle East (#ME) is being played out.

🇮🇷 | 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!
