US B-2 Stealth Bombers Deploy GBU-57 “Bunker Buster” Bombs on Iran’s Fordow Nuclear Facility

In a major military escalation, U.S. B-2 stealth bombers struck Iran’s heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility on June 22, 2025, using specialized GBU-57 “bunker buster” bombs. The attack, confirmed by President Trump, also targeted sites at Natanz and Isfahan. While the U.S. hailed it a success, Iran downplayed the damage. This significant action dramatically heightens regional tensions, leaving the global community on edge as the long-term consequences for peace and nuclear proliferation remain uncertain.
