Trump's statement: "Impressive military success" (video)

“Remember, there are many goals left. Tonight was the most difficult of all, and possibly the most deadly, ”the president said in a brief television appeal to the American people. “But if the world does not come quickly, we will go to other goals with accuracy, speed and skill.”

One of the goals was Fordo Writes Air Force, an enrichment of uranium, hidden in a remote mountain slope, which is vital for Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The true scale of damage at the facility is still unknown.

Fordo is hidden in the mountains south of Tehran and is believed to be deeper underground than a tunnel near La Channel, connecting Great Britain and France. The depth of Fordo under the surface of the earth made it inaccessible to Israeli weapons. It was believed that only the United States has a bunker boster, quite powerful and large to destroy Fordo.

This American bomb is called GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP). It weighs 13,000 kg (30,000 pounds) and is able to break through about 18 m of concrete or 61 m of land before exploding, according to experts. It is assumed that Fordo tunnels are at a depth of 80–90 m under the surface, so the success of MOP is not guaranteed, but this is the only bomb that can get close. American officials confirmed CBS that the MOP was used for shock, two for each affected target.

Israeli officials claim that they “completely coordinated” their actions with the United States when planning these blows.

According to the US officials who communicated with the American partner of BBC, CBS News, the United States contacted Iran through diplomatic channels on Saturday to say that air strikes were the only goal, and that “attempts to change the regime” were “not planned”.

Iran can answer, aiming at the US military facilities in the region. His officials previously warned that any US attack threatens the regional war, and they would take response measures.

It is not yet clear what damage caused US attack nuclear facilities And are there any victims or victims. The Deputy Political Director of the Iranian State Television and Radio Company Hassan Abedini said that Iran “some time ago” evacuated these three nuclear facilities. Speaking on state television, he said that Iran “did not suffer serious losses, since the materials have already been taken out.”
