A high-level expert in the Iranian nuclear program believes that the regime’s atomic program has been erased by the strikes on Saturday evening by the United States.
“The nuclear program is no longer,” said Jonathan Schanzer, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a “National Security and Foreign Security” group at Fox News Digital.
“Sources in Israel report with great confidence that this chapter is over. The responsible parties must always withdraw nuclear materials from the installation in Isfahan. But that seems to be the last page to turn,” he continued.
President Donald Trump said during his speech on Saturday evening that “Iran’s main nuclear enrichment facilities had been completely and completely erased”.

Fox News reported earlier than Isfahan was “the most difficult target,” said a senior American official.
“Everyone spoke and focused on Fordow, but Isfahan was actually the most difficult target,” said the official in the background. The United States has used B-2 bombers to carry out the mission.
A senior American official also told Fox News that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Communicated after strikes and that Israel had been informed in advance.

Lisa Daftari, expert in Iran and editor -in -chief of The Foreign Desk, told Fox News Digital: “Israeli and American officials understand that nothing less than the total destruction of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure will only end the Iran nuclear ambitions threatening an additional action if Iran is trying to rebuild.
“To ensure the eradication of the capacity of the nuclear weapons of the regime, the United States must maintain persistent intelligence, surveillance and recognition to detect any attempt by the Iranian regime to disperse, hide or reconstruct its nuclear infrastructure. This would be associated with continuous diplomatic insulation and multi-location sanctions blocking the regime’s access to nuclear technology, materials and multiplateral funding.
Trump announced that the United States had struck nuclear sites in Iran – a major development in growing tensions in the region, while Israel and Iran have continued to launch air strikes against each other.

“We finished our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, notably Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan. All the planes are now outside Iranian airspace. A complete payload of bombs has been abandoned on the main site, Fordow,” Trump posted on Social on Saturday evening.
“All planes are safe on the way back. Congratulations to our great American warriors. There is not another army in the world that could have done so. It is now the time for peace! Thank you for your attention to this case,” he continued.
Sean Hannity of Fox News said on Saturday evening that President Donald Trump had given him details on the Us strikes in Iran. According to the host “Hannity”, the United States has used six bunker-business bombs-each weighs 15 tonnes-in its strikes on the nuclear installation of the Iranian Ford-Forde. The bombs were abandoned from the American stealth bombers B-2.
Sunday morning, during a press conference, the number of bunker bunker used was updated at 14 by the president of the joint staff chiefs, the lieutenant-general Dan Caine.

“President Trump has taken leadership and decisive measures to eliminate the latest vestiges from the Iranian nuclear weapons program, after the strikes supported by Israel, which seriously damaged the atomic weapons supply chain for uranium to enrichment, and to the armaments of arms,” said Fox News Digital.
“Although the Tehran program is probably behind by years, the United States and Israel must ensure that the highly enriched uranium stocks of the diet and all the secret centrifuges secret is entirely recovered and destroyed-which means more work in advance,” she added.

Fordow had two entries and a ventilation tree, which probably served as entry points for massive ammunition penetrators (MOPS).
