Iran’s top-secret nuclear facility buried deep inside a mountain just got hit again as Israel unleashed a fresh wave of strikes on Monday.
The strike, which follows President Donald Trump’s decisive U.S. bombing campaign over the weekend, is being called another massive blow to the Iranian regime’s nuclear ambitions.
Fordow, one of the Islamic Republic’s most fortified sites, was previously targeted by U.S. bunker-busting bombs in a mission Trump declared a “complete success.”
Now, Israeli media reports that the military has followed up by hitting critical access points to the facility, all while Iran ramps up threats and fires missiles toward Israel.
“We dropped a full payload of bombs on Fordow,” Trump posted on Truth Social over the weekend.
“All our planes are safe. Mission accomplished. Now is the time for peace.”
The Iranian regime, reeling from consecutive U.S. and Israeli strikes, is now publicly admitting that Fordow was hit again.
Officials in Iran’s Qom Province confirmed to state media that damage had been inflicted, but stopped short of admitting the full extent.
Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said the U.S. strikes likely caused “very significant damage” to sensitive centrifuges buried in Fordow’s underground chambers.
Meanwhile, Iran is playing the only card it has left: threats.
“The U.S. has entered the war directly,” said Iran’s new armed forces chief Abdolrahim Mousavi.
Mousavi continued by vowing “punishment” for what he called an “aggressive offspring,” referring to Israel.
Iran also delivered a message in English to Trump via one of the dictatorship’s military mouthpieces:
“Gambler Trump, you may start this war, but we will be the ones to finish it.”
That’s a bold threat from a regime that just lost three nuclear facilities in 48 hours.
In a desperate move, Iran launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel, triggering air raid sirens across the country.
Impacts were reported in Ashdod and areas south of Jerusalem, though Israeli defense systems shot down the majority of the incoming fire.
Israel responded with force, striking at least six Iranian airports, targeting missile storage sites, aircraft, refueling tanks, and even Iran’s state television infrastructure.
“The message is clear,” an Israeli defense official told the media.
“We will not tolerate nuclear blackmail or terror.”
Iran’s state media went into full propaganda mode, showing burning Israeli flags and publishing demonic images of Trump on front pages.
But the damage is already done, militarily and politically.
Following the joint U.S.-Israel strikes, Iran’s radical leaders are now threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil shipping route.
The rogue state has also warned it will withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Iranian lawmakers say they’re preparing legislation to quit the international nuclear watchdog agreement.
The move would effectively end any oversight of Iran’s nuclear activities.
This could also give Iran cover to race toward a nuclear weapon, the very outcome Trump’s preemptive strikes were designed to prevent.
However, the main issue with Iran is that the nation has been secretly developing nuclear weapons in violation of the agreement.
And just to add fuel to the fire, Yemen’s Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, are threatening to resume attacks on U.S. and Israeli ships in the Red Sea.
The threats come despite a prior agreement brokered with Trump in May to de-escalate.
President Trump, who once took out top Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani, is once again sending a clear message: Don’t mess with American strength.
While Democrats argue over war powers resolutions and obsess over process, Trump is showing what decisive, forceful, and unapologetic leadership looks like.
And while Iran’s mullahs shout from their bunkers and liberal media outlets clutch their pearls, the world is watching a commander-in-chief take bold action to protect U.S. interests, stand with our allies, and stop a radical regime from ever going nuclear.
Iran picked this fight.
Trump just showed them what happens when you challenge the United States of America.
