The U.S. has launched a dramatic military strike on Iran, aiming to cripple its nuclear program and force Tehran into collapse—though the outcome is far from certain.
On June 21, 2025, President Donald Trump announced from the White House East Room that B-2 bombers had dropped the most powerful conventional weapons on three major Iranian nuclear bunkers. The mission, dubbed Midnight Hammer, was intended to destroy Iran’s enrichment capabilities.
Standing alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance, Trump warned:
“There are many targets left.”
The strike highlights Trump’s contradictions: he campaigned against endless wars, yet impatience with diplomacy—and his support for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu—pushed him toward military action.
Reactions split sharply:
- Many Republicans praised the move as decisive.
- MAGA figures like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene condemned it: “This is not our fight.”
- Democrats accused Trump of bypassing Congress, comparing it to Iraq.
Netanyahu hailed it as “a historic turning point,” while Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi blasted the U.S., vowing America would bear “full responsibility.” Within hours, Iran fired missiles toward Israel, escalating tensions further.
As Araghchi prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, the world braces for what comes next.
For now, this strike is Trump’s gamble, Trump’s war, and Trump’s legacy—a move that could reshape America’s future.
