🇺🇸 Air traffic over Iran – June 21-22, 2025


 📅Event summary

On the night of June 21–22, 2025, the United States launched an air and missile attack on three major Iranian nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

The strike force used B-2 Spirit fighters, GBU-57A/B “MOP” (High-Power Bomb) bombs, and Tomahawk missile attacks from submarines.

US President Donald Trump declared that the sites were "totally destroyed," warning of the possibility of additional attacks if Iran does not initiate peace.

🎯Motives and repercussions

From Washington's perspective, the strikes aim to permanently weaken Iran's nuclear program and halt its potential threats.


🔁Iranian response

Iran responded by firing about 40 missiles toward Israel, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure, taking a direct counter-action to the US attack.

Israel responded to the Iranian missiles with strikes inside Iran, further escalating the confrontation.


🌍International reactions

The international community has expressed deep concern about the possibility of the conflict escalating into a full-scale confrontation in the Middle East, especially with the potential involvement of armed groups such as Hezbollah or the Houthis.

The United Nations described the attacks as a "dangerous escalation" and called for urgent diplomatic efforts.

In the United States, Trump faced criticism from some members of Congress who deemed the attack "unconstitutional" due to the lack of congressional authorization, while others expressed support.

🧭Evaluation and analysis

Military and strategic impact: The strikes targeted heavily defended sites (including underground sites) and used advanced technologies, demonstrating American resolve to mitigate the Iranian nuclear threat.

Risk of escalation: There are currently concerns that the region could slide into a large-scale conflict, potentially involving regional actors.

Political breakthrough: The use of force without formal congressional authorization has revived debate about presidential powers and the limits of American warfare.

A patch on diplomacy: This period comes after the breakdown of nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran in June and coincides with diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing further violence.


🔍a summary

The United States launched its first direct attacks inside Iran, targeting three highly sensitive nuclear sites using advanced technology, in an escalatory move seemingly supported by Israel. Iran responded with missiles, and Israel retaliated. The international community fears a broader confrontation, while US policy has been marred by constitutional and controversial protests over the use of force.
