Israel-US strike Iran's Isfahan nuclear hub

Israel and the US have launched joint strikes on Iran's Isfahan, targeting a major ammunition depot, according to reports. Huge explosions and fires lit up the sky after the blast, with a large cloud of smoke visible from a distance. Media reports claimed that a 900-kg-plus bunker buster was used in the strike that hit Iran's ammunition warehouse. Isfahan is also home to Iran's Badr military airbase and is known as a nuclear hub. The attack comes after Donald Trump warned Iran to make a deal or face further escalation. The US president stated that American forces would obliterate power plants in Iran if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. Trump also told aides he is prepared to end the campaign against Iran even if the Strait remains closed. Terrorism and Middle Eastern scholar Adrian Calamel noted that Isfahan houses 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium located deep underground, and suggested the strikes may be part of the Trump administration's strategy to force negotiations.
