U.S. strikes on Iran: What we know about the nuclear sites that were hit

U.S. forces have attacked three Iranian nuclear and military sites, further upping the stakes in the Israel-Iran war.

President Donald Trump said the strikes, which he described as “very successful,” had hit the Natanz, Fordo and Isfahan sites, with Fordo being the primary target. Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency confirmed there were attacks early on Sunday (June 22, 2025) at all three nuclear sites.

Israel launched a surprise barrage of attacks on sites in Iran on June 13, which Israeli officials said was necessary to head off what they claimed was an imminent threat that Iran would build nuclear bombs.
