Massive Explosions Reported as U.S. Drops Bunker Busters on Weapons Hub in Iran’s Isfahan
“The U.S. hit a large ammunition depot in the Iranian city of Isfahan with 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs.”
The U.S. military destroyed a massive Iranian weapons facility near Isfahan, news reports suggest early Tuesday. The strike using bunker-busters caused huge secondary explosions visible for miles, suggesting a direct hit on a major Iranian munitions depot or an underground ‘missile city.’
“The U.S. hit a large ammunition depot in the Iranian city of Isfahan with 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs,” The Wall Street Journal reported, quoting officials. According to the newspaper, a “high volume of bunker busters, or penetrator munitions, were used for the strike.”

President Donald Trump posted an uncaptioned video on Truth Social, showing giant balls of fire and a towering mushroom cloud. “Dramatic footage shared by Donald Trump shows the moment that US forces struck a large ammunition depot in Iran with 2,000lb bunker buster bombs, triggering a huge explosion,” The Independent (UK) reported. “Thick black smoke billowed above the city in the footage shared by the US president on Tuesday.”
Satellite imagery appears to confirm blasts near Isfahan. “Fire-tracking satellites from Nasa suggest the explosions happened near Mount Soffeh, an area believed to have military positions,” the UK daily added.
The massive strike comes after President Trump, on Monday, warned that if a deal isn’t reached soon, the U.S. “will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating” regime targets, including energy facilities.
Isfahan, Iran’s third-largest city, hosts the regime’s key nuclear weapons and military facilities. “U.S. strikes hit a city Tuesday that is home to one of Iran’s main nuclear sites, sending a massive fireball into the sky,” The Washington Post reported.
While Isfahan is home to Iran’s nuclear weapons site, it is unclear whether it was the intended target. As we reported last Tuesday, the Israeli Air Force carried out a strike on Iran’s main weapons production facility in the city.

The Iranian missile cities, built by carving up mountains and reinforced with concrete, have been regarded as impenetrable to conventional airstrikes. In recent years, the regime has been ‘unveiling‘ these underground cities on the state TV, boasting of its “growing military prowess” and “readiness” to strike at its enemies.
This is the “Missile City” at Mount Soffeh in Isfahan, an area that was subjected to intense strikes. If you look closely, you can see that Mount Soffeh is located right next to parts of the city, posing a danger to civilians.

In March 2025, the Jerusalem Post reported how Iran’s military chief, Mohammad Bagheri, inspected one such site. Months later, Bagheri was eliminated in an Israeli strike during the 12-Day War.
“Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, and Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Forces were filmed traveling through the facility lined with hundreds of missiles,” the Israeli newspaper reported. “The footage also revealed Bagheri stepping on an Israeli flag placed on the ground of the facility.”

Israel hits regime targets in Iran, strikes Hezbollah in Beirut
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), on Tuesday morning, confirmed conducting strikes in Iran.
“Overnight, the IDF completed another wave of strikes against weapon production sites in Tehran,” the Israeli military said. “The Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF Intelligence, completed an additional wave of strikes against Iranian terror regime infrastructure.”
The targets included, a “facility used for casting and filling ballistic missile warheads,” and a “ballistic missiles component research and development site,” the IDF revealed.
On Tuesday morning, the Israeli Air Force initiated strikes on Hezbollah terrorist targets. “The IDF has begun to strike Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in Beirut,” the military disclosed in a brief statement.

Surely by now between Mossad, the CIA and local informants, we know where all the storage facilities are. Stop talking. Keep bombing.
This is like retraining a dog.
Every time Iran negotiators slow down to their old stalling game, something blows up.
“Gee, Barry and Joe never did that!”
That’s because they weren’t alpha dogs, Omar.
That’s because they weren’t alpha dogs, Omar.
And you don’t even want to find out about the dogs that are on the way. They are Teufel Hunden, Omar.
An operation carried out by aircraft that were built before most of us were born and will still be in service after most of us are dead.
That there is any opposition to throwing this absolutely evil regime upon the dustbin of history is staggering to me. If you cannot put aside your irrational hatred of Donald Trump long enough to liberate a nation from the forty years of hell they’ve been through then you’re no better than the mullahs.
It’s not just the irrational hatred of Trump. That’s the Leftists.
It’s the irrational hatred of DA JOOS as well. That’s the Right blackpillers.
There is a third aspect to all of this.
In the West a third part of the opposition to this operation and the resistance of NATO protecting their own energy security is rooted in placating a very large, very foreign and very militant voting block that was purposely allowed in to Europe by the EU.
Get it done, Mr. President, and put an end to the barking in the other room.
Goodness gracious, great balls of fi-yah!
.
you shake my nerve gas and you rattle my drones
to many bombs gonna make my head explode
you gave us chills
we need some pills
goodness gracious
great balls of fi-yah!
Visuals from the attack showed the night sky completely glowing orange like a great ball of orange fire. “Orange Man Bad”, said Omar.
Dems jumped up upon hearing this news and screamed in anger at djt:
but we paid for that!!!
I wonder if Democrats will be able to get out of their own way when this comes back to Congress in 50 or so days??
Blast didn’t seem big enough. Looks like we got one facility, but other nearby ones survived.
The Iranians are playing the long game. It’s no longer possible for them to build a nuclear bomb in their lifetime, but their great great great grandchildren might be able to.
I need some more marshmellows.
Israeli media is reporting the prime objective of this was to seal the entrances to the underground bunkers that are currently housing Iran’s enriched uranium.
Seal it underground well enough that it would take years to get to it.
Just one headline, of many: “Behind the Isfahan strike: US moves to bury uranium, avoid risky ground operation”.
Time to encourage the Army to start shooting the IRGC
