The decision to directly involve the US comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country’s air defenses and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities. But US and Israeli officials have said that American stealth bombers and a 30,000-lb. bunker buster bomb they alone can carry offered the best chance of destroying heavily-fortified sites connected to the Iranian nuclear program buried deep underground.B-2 bombers were used in the US attacks against Iran's nuclear facilities, Reuters reported citing a US official. The US had informed Israel in advance about the attack on Iran and the matter was coordinated, Walla News reported citing a senior Israeli official.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posts a video statement thanking US President Donald Trump for his decision to strike Iran’s nuclear sites. “Congratulations, President Trump. Your bold decision to target Iran’s nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history,” Netanyahu says.
President Trump and I often say: ‘Peace through strength.’

Iranian state media confirms that the Islamic Republic’s Isfahan, Natanz and Fordo nuclear sites were attacked by “enemy strikes.” The IRIB state broadcaster claims the sites along with their enriched uranium stockpiles were evacuated beforehand. The United States completely obliterated Iran's top secret Fordow nuclear facility with 6 huge bunker buster bombs. Two other major Iranian nuclear sites, Natanz and Estefan, were wiped out with 30 Tomahawk missiles launched by American submarines some 400 miles away.
