Has the entire Iran Nuclear Program deleted? time will tell. The response from Tehran didn’t confirm this anyway. But President Donald Trump of the United States repeatedly affirms that the US must ‘strike’ to guarantee peace in the middle east. He said America is concerned about the growing threat of Iran over Nuclear weapons.
And this singular reason for backing Israel war against Iran, the United States few days ago claimed it has executed a multi-axis precision kinetic operation that has neutralized Iran’s nuclear weapons capability. The uranium enrichment facilities at Fordow and Natanz were completely destroyed, alongside the obliteration of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile in Isfahan.
The US President, Donald Trump says Under Operation Silent Spear, U.S. assets launched a coordinated long-range strike package involving stealth bombers, stand-off munitions, and cyber-disruption protocols. The operation was enabled by multi-source intelligence fusion, incorporating SIGINT, GEOINT, HUMINT, and satellite reconnaissance to identify, verify, and prioritize hardened nuclear sites.
According to President Trump, Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant – Located deep under a mountain near Qom, was penetrated using GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs) dropped by B-2 Spirit stealth bombers.
It was said that Natanz Nuclear Facility – The core of Iran’s advanced centrifuge network, was degraded using a combined cyber-kinetic approach and precision-guided bunker-buster ordnance.
Military analysts assess that Iran’s nuclear latency has been reset to zero. With centrifuge arrays destroyed, uranium stockpiles neutralized, and command-and-control infrastructure decimated, Tehran no longer possesses a viable nuclear deterrent or breakout capability.
The operation was executed under the doctrine of anticipatory self-defense, as per Article 51 of the UN Charter.
With Iran’s nuclear infrastructure eliminated, U.S. deterrence credibility has been reaffirmed across the Middle East. Allies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Israel, and NATO have welcomed the development as a strategic victory for non-proliferation.
In President Donald Trump statement, “Mission accomplished. Objective neutralized. Threat terminated.
Trump subsequently announced that Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, beginning the evening of June 23. A senior Iranian official confirmed to that the ceasefire would occur following Qatari mediation.
But Iran retaliation was not a good signal for peace. It conducted a missile attack targeting the US al Udeid Airbase in Qatar in retaliation for the US strikes on the Iranian nuclear program. The attack was largely symbolic and inflicted no casualties or damage, however.
Iranian elite, including some moderate leaders, have reportedly tried to pressure Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to accept a ceasefire or sideline him entirely. It is unclear what role these individuals played in the US-announced ceasefire.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister for Policy Majid Takht Ravanchi announced that Iran will remain a member of the NPT. Iranian officials have previously threatened to withdraw from the NPT in response to US and Israeli strikes.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi confirmed that the United States likely inflicted “very significant damage” in its strikes on the Fordow nuclear site. Iran may have moved some of its nuclear material to undisclosed locations beforehand
Meanwhile, the real casualties of ‘needless’ war are the ordinary citizens. In Iran, over 400 Iranians have been killed and 3,056 injured in Israeli strikes, according to Iran’s health ministry.
At least thirty three people were killed and eight injured in an Iranian barrage after Trump’s ceasefire announcement.
Even though the global responses have been so weak, coloured and incoherent to assured lasting peace, the UN Security Council Ambassador Danny Danon called on the world to stop the threat posed by Iran. He said ‘UN will ensure that the fear of nuclear Iran never returns.
European officials have begun shuttle diplomacy between Tehran and Tel Aviv to prevent further escalation.
The US State Department issued a “worldwide caution” for Americans after the attack on Iran, citing disruptions to travel and periodic closure of airspace across the Middle East.
These global reactions, undeniably explains why there is more to be done to guarantee peace in the middle east.
