MANCHESTER, KY - On June 21, 2025, U.S. B-2 Stealth Bombers struck Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in “Operation Midnight Hammer” to halt Tehran’s nuclear program. President Donald Trump called the mission a “tremendous success,” with Vice President JD Vance stating it “destroyed the Iranian nuclear program” without risking American lives.
A Redacted News YouTube report, citing unnamed sources, claims the sites were empty, with Iran possibly relocating uranium. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported no radiation leaks, and U.S. assessments continue.
Iran retaliated with missile strikes on Israel, injuring over 20, and its parliament voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, a route for 20% of global oil. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called a closure “economic suicide” for Iran, warning of U.S. responses. A closure could push U.S. gas prices to $7 per gallon, hitting families nationwide. “Fuel costs would hurt us all,” said a Wisconsin teacher. With 40,000 U.S. troops on alert, tensions escalate.
A White House X post screenshot from June 22, 2025, shows a B-2 Stealth Bomber landing at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, after a 36-hour mission—a symbol of U.S. strength. The administration seeks diplomacy but warns of consequences if Iran escalates, leaving Americans on edge.
