On Sunday morning, America targeted three nuclear sites in Iran. The U.S. Air Force's B2 Bombers unleashed bombs on Iran's nuclear facilities—Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. President Donald Trump hailed these attacks as 'entirely successful,' whereas Iran stated their nuclear sites remain secure, with no radiation leak risks.
Trump's Surprise to the World
It was speculated that Trump would take two weeks to decide on military action against Iran alongside Israel. However, on Sunday, America launched an attack that stunned the globe. Iran claims its nuclear sites were evacuated beforehand, begging the question of the truth in these assertions.

Cargo Trucks Near Tunnel Entrances
On June 19, 16 cargo trucks were observed parked along the pathway leading to the underground military complex's tunnel entrance. The next day's image showed many of these trucks were moved roughly a kilometer northwest. More trucks and bulldozers were noticed near the main complex entrance, with one truck parked right next to the tunnel entry.
