🇮🇱 Israeli Special Forces Veteran Applauds Trump’s “Decapitation” of Iran’s Nuclear Program
A retired Israeli special forces officer has publicly praised U.S. President Donald Trump for ordering what he called a “decapitation” strike on Iran’s nuclear program. The recent joint U.S.-Israeli air campaign targeted critical Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, delivering a massive blow to Tehran’s uranium enrichment capabilities.
The veteran, whose name has not been disclosed for security reasons, referred to the coordinated strikes as a “historic strategic reset”, claiming the operation has crippled Iran’s breakout capacity for years—possibly even permanently.
🎯 Precision Strikes with Strategic Intent
The strikes, conducted between June 21–22, 2025, involved U.S. B-2 bombers, Tomahawk cruise missiles, and precision-guided bunker-buster munitions. These penetrated deep into fortified underground sites that had long been protected from conventional attacks.
“This wasn’t just an air raid. It was a calculated decapitation of Iran’s nuclear weapons pathway,” the former operative stated. “President Trump showed the kind of resolve that deters enemies. It’s the message Tehran needed to hear.”
💣 What Was Hit?
According to U.S. and Israeli officials, the coordinated assault specifically targeted:
-
Fordow Enrichment Facility – deeply buried under mountains, now reportedly inoperable.
-
Natanz Site – the heart of Iran’s enrichment program.
-
Isfahan Nuclear Center – involved in uranium conversion and fuel processing.
While Trump declared the mission a “total obliteration” of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, Tehran claimed the damage was exaggerated and said key materials had been relocated prior to the strike.
🌍 Global and Regional Fallout
| Party | Reaction |
|---|---|
| Israel | Prime Minister Netanyahu hailed the strike as a “turning point in regional security”. |
| Iran | Vowed “everlasting consequences” and threatened a broad retaliation campaign. |
| United Kingdom | PM Starmer urged caution, warning that further escalation could spiral into full-scale war. |
| United States | Republicans applauded the strike, while critics questioned its legality under international and U.S. law. |
🧠 Strategic Takeaways
-
Military success: Analysts believe the operation delayed Iran’s nuclear ambitions by several years.
-
Diplomatic deadlock: Iran has now officially withdrawn from all nuclear negotiations.
-
Regional risk: The move has intensified hostilities, raising the threat of proxy wars in Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria.
The Israeli veteran emphasized that Trump’s strike sends a clear message not only to Iran, but also to hostile actors across the Middle East: “When the free world acts with clarity and strength, rogue regimes think twice.”
