The world of Saturday night’s sleep broke when American bombers bombed three important nuclear bases in Iran. This decision of US President Donald Trump made it clear that now the US has jumped directly into the war between Israel and Iran. Trump’s move can push the war into another dangerous turn.
Which hideouts of Iran were attacked?
Trump himself confirmed on social media that the three places which were targeted, included Fordo, Natanj and Isfahan.
- 1. Fordo- Iran’s uranium enrichment center located under the highly-envious mountains of Iran.
- 2. Natanz- The country’s largest uranium enrichment plant.
- 3. A hideout near Isfahan-where Iran allegedly has a bomb-level promotion uranium.
Trump said, ‘Full payload has been dropped on Fordo. All our aircraft have come out safely from the border of Iran and are returning to their base.
How did this war start?
The spark of this whole struggle erupted from Israel on 13 June from a shocking attack on Iran. Since then, there is a continuous retaliation between the two countries. By last week, there was speculation whether America would jump or stay away in this struggle.
The Trump administration first shown to avoid it, but eventually the US attacked Iran using its deadliest technology.
America’s ‘Bunker Buster’ attack: What is its specialty?
The American attack was used in the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (GBU-57), called ‘Bunker Buster’. This bomb is specially prepared for such locations that are located several hundred feet below the ground, mountains or concrete.
- Weight: 30,000 pounds (about 13.6 tonnes)
- Length: 20 feet
- Only: B-2 stealth bomber capable of carrying
The strength of this bomb is so much that if the same place is dropped again and again, it can destroy the hideouts inside the mountains and rocks.
Citizens are heavy in Iran
The Iranian Health Ministry said on Saturday that more than 400 civilians have died in the Israeli attacks, including 54 women and children. The number of injured is said to be more than 3,000.
Missiles have also fallen on many residential areas and apartments in Iran. At the same time, the period of internet blackout is also going on in Iran, due to which the contact of common citizens with each other and outside world is almost over.
Iran’s military structure and Khamenei’s concern
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is now changing his hideouts to avoid possible murder. According to sources, he no longer talks directly to his commanders but communicates through a trusted colleague. Also, three top commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have been killed.
What are the situation in Israel?
On Saturday, Iran attacked Israel with ballistic missiles and drones. Many buildings were damaged due to missile collapse in Haifa and Berceva cities. So the sound of sirers was heard in Golan Heights and Northern Israel.
Cluster bomb fell in Yehuda: Use of such weapons in this war for the first time.
Israel’s state -of -the -art air defense system killed most missiles and drones in the air, but the danger remains intact. Now Israel is staining the interceptor missiles so fast that their production is being consumed more.
Why suddenly the role of America changed?
Till last week, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had clearly stated that America is not involved in attacks on Iran, but Trump’s stance gradually became aggressive and entered the war of America.
Experts believe that weapons like bunker Buster bombs are only with the US and only America can completely destroy bases like Iran’s Fordo.
Now that the US itself has jumped into the war, the possibilities have intensified that Iran can target American military bases in the Middle East.
This war, which started on 13 June, is now slowly moving towards a global crisis. America’s entry did not allow it to be a fight for Israel and Iran only.
Radioactive threat
The attack on Iran’s nuclear bases can put the entire area in radioactive threat. Arab countries have already warned that such attacks also threaten their boundaries.
Now it has to be seen how much this war spreads and is it not the initial chapter of a third world war? Perhaps the answer to this question will be found in the coming days… or will give history.
