The atomic program of the Iranian regime was destroyed by the attacks carried out by the United States on Saturday night, according to a leading specialist on the subject.
According to Jonathan Schanzer, the head of the “national security and foreign policy” think tank known as the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, “the nuclear program is no longer” (as reported by AWN Digital).
The Israeli side is very certain that this chapter is closed, according to their sources. The parties responsible must still evacuate the Isfahan site of any radioactive or nuclear materials. However, it seems like that’s the last page to be turned,” he went on to say.
The “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated,” President Trump declared during his Saturday night address.
Isfahan was “the hardest target,” according to a senior U.S. official, as reported earlier by AWN.
“Without Fordow, Isfahan would have been the most difficult target,” the official added behind closed doors. To complete the operation, the United States relied on B-2 bombers.
According to a senior U.S. official who spoke with AWN, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with American officials after the strikes and had advance notice.
An specialist on Iran and the editor of The Foreign Desk, Lisa Daftari, told AWN Digital that American and Israeli authorities know that a brief delay won’t be enough to put a stop to Iran’s nuclear program; they want the country’s nuclear infrastructure destroyed entirely. However, in order to put an end to Iran’s nuclear aspirations for good, the United States and its allies will need to launch a campaign that goes beyond these targeted attacks. This campaign would need consistent pressure, intelligence, and the unmistakable threat of more action should Iran try to rebuild.
In order to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program, the United States must keep a constant vigil through intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in order to uncover any efforts by the Iranian government to conceal, scatter, or reassemble its nuclear facilities. Along with this, she said, there would be “persistent diplomatic isolation” and “strict multilateral sanctions” that would prevent the regime from obtaining nuclear materials, technology, and funding.
Amidst escalating tensions in the area, Trump made the announcement that the United States had attacked Iranian nuclear installations. This came as both Israel and Iran maintained their attacks against each other.
Our assault on Iran’s three nuclear facilities—at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan—was a resounding triumph. Aircraft have departed from Iranian territory. The main location, Fordow, was hit with a full payload of bombs, according to Trump’s Saturday night post on Truth Social.
Every plane has landed safely. Our nation’s brave warriors, may you rest in peace. This could not have been accomplished by any other military force on Earth. Let there be peace now! As he went on, he thanked them for paying attention to the issue.
On Saturday night, Sean Hannity of AWN said that President Trump had briefed him on the specifics of the U.S. assault on Iran. Six 15-ton bunker-buster bombs were utilized in the attacks on Iran’s Fordow nuclear site, as stated by the “Hannity” host. American B-2 stealth aircraft were responsible for dropping the explosives.
Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, revised the number of bunker busters used to fourteen at a press briefing on Sunday morning.
According to Andrea Stricker, FDD’s Director of Nonproliferation and Biological Weapons, “President Trump took decisive leadership and action to eliminate the last vestiges of Iran’s nuclear weapons program.” This came after Israel’s sustained strikes severely damaged the atomic weapons supply chain, beginning with uranium conversion and continuing through enrichment and weaponization.
“While Tehran’s program is likely set back by years, the United States and Israel need to ensure the regime’s highly enriched uranium stockpiles and all secret advanced centrifuges are fully recovered and destroyed — which means more work ahead,” according to her.
The Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs) probably entered Fordow through one of its ventilation shafts and two entrances.
The assaults on the installations in Nanatz and Isfahan also made use of thirty Tomahawk missiles that were launched from American submarines. The missiles may have been fired from an Ohio Class Submarine, according to rumors, although no one has confirmed this.
