22.06.2025The day Trump bombed Iran's nuclear sites
Trump executed the Iran ultimatum threatened over recent days, ordering strikes on three nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan. Russian outlets reported the attacks throughout the night, with Trump claiming "complete destruction" of Iran's uranium enrichment capabilities using "a full set of bombs." The Pentagon later declared Iran's nuclear program eliminated.

Iran's diplomatic response emerged by morning - requesting an emergency UN Security Council session while confirming no radioactive leaks. By afternoon, Iran's Foreign Minister flew urgently to Moscow for direct talks with Putin, marking Russia's positioning as Iran's primary diplomatic backstop.

Russia condemned the strikes as violations of international law, with UN representative Nebenzya warning of opening "Pandora's box." The coverage shifted from Iran's UN appeals to military escalation as Tehran deployed new Kheibar ballistic missiles against Israel and threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz. Trump warned of additional strikes if Iran retaliates.
