The power of bunker busters is “second only to nuclear bombs”. The United States dropped 6 bunker busters at once. Trump warned Iran: No retaliation! Democrats: Seriously unconstitutional! Iran: Only the above-ground part of the Fordow nuclear facility was damaged

According to CCTV International News, after announcing the US attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities through social media, US President Trump gave a speech to the nation, saying that the US military had carried out large-scale precision strikes on three key nuclear facilities in Iran, aiming to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities and stop the nuclear threat it posed. At present, Iran’s key uranium enrichment facilities have been completely destroyed.

In his speech, Trump warned Iran that Iran poses a threat not only to Israel, but also to the United States. If Iran cannot achieve peace, the United States may attack more targets, and Iran will either move towards peace or encounter tragedy, and the degree of tragedy will be far greater than what has been witnessed in the past 8 days. Trump warned that the United States can strike other targets accurately, quickly and skillfully within minutes. In addition, Trump said that the United States and Israel have worked closely as a team.

Trump said that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, Kane, and the US Secretary of Defense, Hegseth, will hold a press conference at the US Department of Defense at 8 am Eastern Time on June 22 (8 pm Beijing Time tonight). Trump did not disclose substantive details about the attack.

On June 21, local time, US President Trump posted on his social media “Real Social” that any retaliation from Iran against the United States will be met with a far stronger response than what we have seen today.

On June 21, local time, the United States dropped six bunker busters to attack Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, and the United States also launched 30 “Tomahawk” missiles at other Iranian nuclear facilities.

On June 21, local time, US President Trump posted on his social media “Real Social” that the United States has completed the attack on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities.

According to multiple media reports, Iran has 25 to 30 facilities that are completely or mainly used for nuclear programs, of which 6 are primary targets: the uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, the conversion device in Isfahan, the heavy water reactor in Arak, the weapons and ammunition production facilities in Parchin, the uranium enrichment facility in Fordow and the light water reactor in Bushehr.

The Natanz nuclear facility is located in Isfahan Province in central Iran. It is reported that some production workshops of the Natanz nuclear facility are built deep underground and protected by concrete walls on top. The Fordow nuclear facility is located in a mountainous area about 30 kilometers south of the Iranian city of Qom and is built in a rock layer tens of meters underground. This underground design is designed to resist potential air strikes and increase the protection capabilities of the facility. There is also a research nuclear reactor in Tehran, the capital of Iran.

It is reported that the Fordow nuclear facility has a higher enrichment of uranium than the Natanz nuclear facility. According to the Iran nuclear agreement reached in 2015, the Fordow nuclear facility was required to stop high-enrichment uranium enrichment activities and convert them to nuclear physics and scientific research purposes. Since the United States withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement in 2018, Iran has gradually resumed uranium enrichment activities at the Fordow nuclear facility, including the production of higher-enrichment uranium. Iran insists that the nuclear project is for civilian purposes.

Israel’s conventional bunker-buster bombs cannot hit the deep underground part of Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility. Several US media reported that to destroy the facility, the only thing that can be used is the US GBU-57 bunker-buster. The US Air Force B-2 bomber is currently the only aircraft that can drop the GBU-57A/B giant bunker buster in actual combat.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the GBU-57 bunker buster is a heavy bunker buster, 20 feet long, about 6 meters; weighing 30,000 pounds, about 13.6 tons; it is the world’s “most powerful bomb” after nuclear weapons, and can destroy targets buried deep underground, so it is also called a “bunker bomb.” The GBU-57 bunker buster can penetrate about 200 feet underground, about 61 meters; it is mainly carried by the B-2A stealth bomber, which can carry two at a time. The GBU-57 bunker buster is equipped with an advanced navigation system to lock the target, and can be detonated after penetrating the ground to a certain depth.

It is worth mentioning that on the evening of June 21, local time, the White House released the latest photos of the interior of the war room, in which Trump and senior national security officials were monitoring the US air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in real time.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the CBS News Department of the United States reported on the 21st, citing sources, that the United States told Iran through diplomatic channels that day that attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities was “the entire plan of the United States” and that the United States did not intend to promote regime change in Iran.

According to CCTV News, sources revealed that the United States is withdrawing more diplomats from Iraq, leaving only basic diplomats.

There have been opposition voices among U.S. lawmakers regarding the U.S. attack. According to U.S. media reports, California Democratic Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs said that Trump’s attack on Iran is not only unconstitutional, but also escalates the situation and may plunge the United States into another endless war.

According to CCTV International News, on the evening of June 21, local time, according to the National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States, New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that President Trump’s decision to attack Iran without the authorization of Congress “absolutely and clearly constitutes grounds for impeachment.” She said that the U.S. President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization seriously violated the Constitution and Congress’s war powers.

According to CCTV News, on the 22nd local time, the security department of Iran’s Qom Province said that after the US military attacked the nearby Fordow nuclear facility, the city of Qom in the province was “completely calm”. At the same time, it also called on the public to remain calm and not believe in rumors.

The Iranian National Nuclear Safety System Center said that after the US attacks on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities, the center immediately investigated and evaluated whether nuclear contamination occurred in the relevant areas, and confirmed that no signs of contamination have been found so far.

According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, Menan Raihi, a representative of the Iranian Parliament’s Qom Province, said this morning (June 22) that contrary to what US President Trump claimed, Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility was not seriously damaged. The main damage was to the ground part, which could be repaired. He said that he believed that “all items that may pose a threat to nearby residents” in the facility had long been cleared, and there was no report of nuclear radiation at present. He emphasized that Iran regards the US attack as a manifestation of the US’s direct involvement in the war, and now is “the time for Iran to decide when and how to respond to the United States.”

The Atomic Energy Agency of Iran issued a statement in the morning of the 22nd local time, saying that the nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan were brutally attacked in the early morning of the same day. This act violated international law, especially the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and was a hostile act against Iran. The statement called on the international community to condemn “illegal acts based on the law of the jungle” and support Iran in safeguarding its legitimate rights. The statement said that the Atomic Energy Agency of Iran will continue to develop the nuclear energy industry.

Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported on the 22nd that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran has launched the 19th round of missile and drone strikes against Israel in the “Real Commitment-3” operation.

The report said that a few hours ago, a large number of drones flew to Israel’s strategic targets “from north to south”.

On June 21, local time, a US official said that if the United States joins Israel’s war against Iran, Iran is ready to attack US military bases and equipment in the Middle East.

According to CNN on the same day, Iranian officials confirmed that Iran has this intention.

According to Reuters on the same day, a commentator from Iran’s state television said that every American citizen or soldier at a U.S. military base in the Middle East is now a legitimate target of Iran.

The Israel Defense Forces issued a statement on social media on the 22nd, saying that based on the current situation, it decided to immediately adjust the instructions of the Home Guard Command and upgrade the national alert status from that day.

The statement said that with the approval of Defense Minister Katz, based on the current situation assessment, the Israeli army decided to immediately adjust the instructions of the Home Guard Command from 3:45 a.m. local time on the 22nd. The adjustment includes upgrading all regions of the country from “partially restricted activities” to “essential activities”. The new instructions include: prohibiting educational activities, gatherings and non-essential industry operations.

On June 21, Eastern Time, two White House officials revealed that U.S. President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a phone call after the United States launched an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu issued a statement thanking U.S. President Trump and saying that Trump’s “bold decision” against Iran’s nuclear facilities will change history.
