Us Attacks Iran: When the whole world was sleeping on the night of 22 June, there was a blast in West Asia that shaken the foundation of the entire global system. There was a time when America was seen in the role of ‘mediator’, but now it has gone into this war itself. On the orders of US President Donald Trump, the US targeted the three most important nuclear bases of Iran with ‘bunker buster’ bombs, causing the war to reach a very dangerous turn.
What is ‘Bunker Buster’ weapon
In this attack, the US used a huge ordnance penetrator called GBU-57, which is called ‘Bunker Buster’.
Weight: 30,000 pounds (about 13.6 tonnes)
Length: 20 feet
Why special: This bomb is capable of penetrating bunkers and concrete structures hidden at several hundred feet depth. It can only be taken to B-2 stealth bomber. This bomb is designed to completely destroy inaccessible locations like Fordo.
Attack on three big nuclear bases:
On Saturday night, American bombers bombed Iran’s Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan at three extremely sensitive nuclear bases in Isfahan. Confirming these attacks, President Trump himself wrote on social media that “full payload has been dropped on Fordo. All our aircraft have returned safely.”
Fordo -An extremely enthusiastic uranium enrichment center located below the mountains, which was considered invincible till now.
Natanj – The largest and active uranium enrichment plant in Iran.
Isfahan’s hideout -Where there were reports of bomb-level uranium being stored.
More than 400 deaths, 3,000 injured
Iran’s Health Ministry said that more than 400 civilians have died in the Israeli attacks, including 54 women and children. The number of injured has crossed 3,000. Many missiles have fallen on residential areas, apartments and citizens living normal lives. Also, there is a situation of internet blackout in Iran, due to which the general public’s interaction and association with the world has come to a complete standstill.
Ayatollah Khamenei in danger
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is feeling a serious threat to his life. According to the information, they are constantly changing their hideouts and are in touch with their trusted colleagues instead of communicating directly. Three top commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have also been killed in attacks.
Things in Israel
Iran on Saturday carried out ballistic missiles and drone attacks on Israeli cities like Haifa and Berceva in retaliation. Many buildings collapsed. Golan heights and sirens in northern Israel rings continuously. Cluster bomb was used in Yehuda, which was seen for the first time in this war. However, Israel’s state -of -the -art air defense system was able to destroy most of the attacks in the air. But now the situation is that Israeli’s interceptor missiles are being consumed more than production.
Trump’s revenge stance
Till last week, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had clearly stated that America is not involved in this war. But Trump’s strategy suddenly changed. Gradually, after the aggressive rhetoric, now the US itself has landed in this fight. Experts say that weapons such as bunker buster are only with the US, and only America is capable of completely destroying bases like Fordo.
Is this the beginning of a global war?
This struggle, which started on June 13, is now gradually taking the form of a global crisis. After America’s military partnership, it is no longer a fight between Israel and Iran. Many Arab countries in West Asia have warned that such attacks can also threaten their border areas. The attack on Iran’s nuclear bases has increased the risk of radioactive leakage in the entire region, which has created a new challenge in front of humanity.
