⚠️ BREAKING: US Enters War with Iran, Bombs 3 Major Nuclear Sites
In a major military move, the United States has officially entered the conflict with Iran.
Late Saturday night, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social and Instagram to announce that U.S. bombers hit three major Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All aircraft are now safely out of Iranian airspace,” Trump wrote.
🧨 Why Now?
This comes after weeks of rising tensions following Israeli airstrikes earlier this month. With diplomacy breaking down, Trump gave Iran a two-week ultimatum to de-escalate its uranium program. That deadline passed—and now, bombs have been dropped.
According to multiple sources, U.S. B-2 stealth bombers were used to deliver 30,000-lb bunker-busting bombs—especially on the underground Fordow site.
🌍 What Happens Next?
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, warned of a “very, very dangerous” response.
Meanwhile:
- Australia is rushing to evacuate 4,000 citizens from the region
- U.S. Navy ships in the Red Sea and Gulf are on high alert
- Houthi rebels in Yemen are threatening to escalate attacks on U.S. interests
- This is shaping up to be a full-blown regional crisis
💬 Trump’s Message: "Now is the Time for Peace"
In his statement, Trump claimed the strikes were meant to “force peace through strength”—a message many analysts see as a stark reversal from earlier non-interventionist rhetoric.
📊 Weekend Market Reaction (via IG.com):
Markets didn’t wait to react:
- Crude Oil spiked +3.4%
- Gold rallied +1.9%
- S&P Futures dropped -1.2%
- Nasdaq Futures fell -1.8%
Now comes the real question:
Does this mark the end of the conflict—or the beginning of a full-scale war?
The U.S. has just taken out Iran’s most critical nuclear sites. Mission accomplished… or so it seems. But let’s not forget why this all started in the first place: neither Israel, the U.S., nor any NATO ally was willing to let Iran become a nuclear power.
Now that those capabilities appear to be wiped out… is it over? Or have we just lit the fuse for what comes next? This week will tell us everything. Eyes peeled!
Keep this in mind:
Markets hate uncertainty — and it does well historically during war. Sounds wild, but both have held true time and time again. Now that the U.S. has made its move, uncertainty is off the table… and if this turns into a full-blown war, history says: bullish bias activated.
