What we know about US air tickets at Iran’s nuclear facilities

US President Donald Trump says US military has ended the three nuclear sections in Iran, which noted a significant escalation in the current war between Iran and Israel.

“We have completed a very successful attack on three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan. All planes are now on the borders of Iran’s airspace,” he wrote in truth.

Trump added that the “full useful load of the bombs” was dropped on Fordo, a plant of enrichment, hidden in the remote slope of the mountain, which is vital for Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Israeli officials say they were in “complete coordination” from the US in planning these strikes.

Iran can respond by focusing on US military assets in the region. Earlier, his officials warned that they would avenge and that any US attack risks a regional war.

Here’s the analysis of what we know so far.

On June 13, Israel began an unexpected attack on dozens of Iranian nuclear and military purposes. It states that his ambition was to dismantle his nuclear program, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would soon be able to produce a nuclear bomb.

Iran insists that its nuclear ambitions are peaceful. In paid, Tehran launched hundreds of missiles and drones towards Israel. Both countries continue to exchange strikes from the air war that lasted more than a week.

Trump has long said he opposed Iran, who owns nuclear weapons.

In March, US National Intelligence Director Tuls Gabard said while Iran had increased Uranus’s stock to an unprecedented level, he did not create nuclear weapons – an assessment that Trump had recently said that “wrong”.

On the way of the campaign, President Trump criticized past US administrations for his participation in “foolish endless wars” in the Middle East, and he promised to avoid America from foreign conflicts.

The US and Iran were held in nuclear negotiations during an unexpected attack by Israel. Two days ago, President Trump said he would give Iran for two weeks to enter into significant negotiations before striking – but this term turned out to be much shorter.

One of the sites attacked by the United States was a secret nuclear site called Fordo. It is hidden in the mountain slope south of Tehran, and is believed to be deeper underground than a canal tunnel connecting the UK and France.

The uranium enrichment site is considered experts as vital for Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The depth of the Ford under the earth’s surface made the achievement of Israel’s weapons. It was believed that only in the US was considered a bunker bunker, big enough to destroy Ford.

The American bomb is called massive penetration GBU-57 (MOP). According to experts, it weighs 13,000 kg (30,000 pounds) and is able to penetrate about 18 m concrete or 61 m.

Fordo tunnels are believed to be 80 m to 90 m below the surface, so the mop is not guaranteed, but it is the only bomb that can approach.

US officials confirmed the BBC CBS News partners that MOPS was used in strikes, and two for each purpose hit.

It is unclear that in the detriment of attack in the US on the nuclear -enrichment facilities, whether there is any injury or victim.

The deputy political director of Iran’s state television broadcaster Hassan Abedini said Iran evacuated these three nuclear monuments, and therefore. “

Appearing on state television, he said that Iran “was not seriously hit because the materials were already taken out.”

Iran has stated that more than 200 people have been killed since the last round of fighting with Israel, and more than 1,200 were injured.

Meanwhile, Israel is increasing security after the US attacks on the key places of Iran.

Israel has strengthened public security restrictions across the country, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said.

Update – including “Prohibition of educational events, meetings and jobs” – occurs after American strikes on Iran.

Experts point out that Iran has significantly weakened Israel’s attacks on military bases, as well as the dismantling of its regional trusted persons in Lebanon (Hezbollah), Syria and Gas (Hamas). But Iran is still capable of doing considerable damage.

Iranian officials have warned the US from participating, saying it would receive “irreparable damage” and that it risks “war” in the region.

This threatened to focus on the US bases in the region. In the US, military monuments operate in at least 19 regions in the Middle East, including in Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Among the most obvious purposes for Iran – the 5th Navy Navy in Minsk Salman in Bahrain.

It can also aim on a critical delivery route known as the Strait of the Highus, which binds the Persian Gulf with the Indian Ocean and is transported by 30% of the world’s oil supply. It can also attack other marine routes that risk destabilizing global markets.

Iran can also focus on the assets of the nearby countries he believes that helps the US, which risks overcoming war over the whole region.

According to the US law, the president has no power to officially declare war in another country. Only Congress – Legislators elected in the House of Representatives and the Senate – can.

But the law also states that the president is the commander -in -chief of the officers. This means that it can expand US troops and conduct hostilities without the official declaration of war.

For example, Trump’s decision is conducting airstrikes in Syria in 2017 against the Assad regime requires no approval from Congress. Instead, Trump acted unilaterally, citing national security and humanitarian reasons.

Some legislators on both sides of the passage recently tried to restrict Trump’s ability to order us strikes on Iran by promoting the resolution of military powers through Congress, although it may take several weeks before it is designed for official voting, and such measures are more symbolic than material.
