India, June 22 -- The United States has attacked Iran's vital nuclear installations at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan with one of its biggest airstrikes in decades. The strike, known as Operation Midnight Hammer, was "an incredible and overwhelming success," announced US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, adding that they were carried out after US President Donald Trump's instructions.

"The operation President Trump planned was bold and it was brilliant, showing the world that American deterrence is back. When this President speaks, the world should listen," Hegseth said in a press briefing on Sunday.
