The United States struck Iran’s Isfahan using 900-kg bunker buster bombs, targeting a large ammunition depot near military sites. Officials said the strike aimed to destroy missiles and stored explosives. Isfahan is a key defence hub and houses a major nuclear facility. Reports suggest highly enriched uranium may be stored there. A US official told The Wall Street Journal that a “high volume of bunker busters” was used. These bombs are designed to hit deep underground targets. Satellite data showed fires and secondary blasts after the strike. The attack followed warnings from US President Donald Trump of wider action if no deal is reached. Iran has not confirmed the strike.
