The United States Just Bombed Iran’s Nuclear Facilities. This Is Israel’s War—Fought with American Blood
The United States Just Bombed Iran’s Nuclear Facilities. This Is Israel’s War—Fought with American Blood
It is now confirmed: the United States has bombed three of Iran’s most critical nuclear sites—Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. These facilities are not mere technical nodes; they represent the backbone of Iran’s nuclear programme and national pride. Destroying them is not just a military operation—it is an act of war.
But this is not America’s war.
This is a war initiated for Israel’s benefit, with American resources, American risks, and soon—American casualties.
The Targets: Precedent-Shattering Provocation
• Natanz: Iran’s primary uranium enrichment site, long monitored by the IAEA and a key part of every diplomatic framework since 2003.
• Fordow: A hardened, underground facility near Qom, built to survive aerial assault and symbolising Iran’s determination to resist coercion.
• Isfahan: Home to a uranium conversion plant that supports Iran’s fuel cycle infrastructure.
These are not tactical strikes. They are a strategic decapitation of Iran’s nuclear ambitions—launched unilaterally, without UN mandate or Congressional oversight. The consequences will be swift and unforgiving.
Who Will Pay the Price?
Not Israel. Despite its proximity to Iran, Israel is fortified by the Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow missile defence systems, with U.S.-funded early-warning technology and a nuclear deterrent of its own.
The United States, by contrast, has placed its personnel, assets, and infrastructure in exposed forward positions across a volatile region now primed to explode.
Key U.S. Bases Now at Risk:
• Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar – The largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, home to CENTCOM’s forward HQ.
• Ain al-Asad Air Base, Iraq – Previously targeted by Iranian missiles in 2020; highly vulnerable to renewed attacks.
• Erbil International Airport, Iraq – Hosting U.S. special operations; surrounded by Iran-backed militias.
• Al Dhafra Air Base, UAE – Key for U.S. air operations; well within range of Iranian drones and cruise missiles.
• Camp Arifjan, Kuwait – Logistics and command hub for U.S. ground forces.
• Naval Support Activity Bahrain – Headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet; a prime target for missile or drone retaliation.
Unlike Israel, these installations do not enjoy the same layered missile defences. Many sit within striking distance of Iranian ballistic systems and a network of highly capable proxy forces.
Iran’s Response Will Be Asymmetric—and Relentless
Tehran does not fight wars the way Washington does. Its doctrine is built around asymmetry, deniability, and regional entanglement.
Here’s how Iran and its allies may respond:
• Hezbollah (Lebanon): Tens of thousands of rockets aimed at northern Israel. Even the Iron Dome cannot handle a saturation attack.
• Kata’ib Hezbollah & Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq (Iraq): Militias with a history of attacking U.S. bases and convoys. Expect coordinated assaults.
• Liwa Fatemiyoun & Zeinabiyoun Brigades (Syria): Iran’s Afghan and Pakistani proxy units could begin harassment of U.S. positions.
• Houthis (Yemen): Now fielding long-range missiles and drones capable of hitting UAE, Saudi, or Red Sea targets.
• Cyber Units: Capable of disrupting American financial institutions, energy infrastructure, or election systems.
This web of influence stretches from Beirut to Basra, and the United States has just given it a unifying cause.
No Mandate, No Strategy, No Exit
The United States has acted without Congressional authorisation, without international legal cover, and without a plan for what happens next.
There is no clear endgame. Regime change is fantasy. Total war is unsustainable. And diplomacy is now a smoking ruin.
The JCPOA is finished. The Non-Proliferation Treaty may be next. Iran will accelerate its nuclear programme underground and beyond verification. And Washington—having burned its last diplomatic bridge—will have nothing to show for it but flag-draped coffins and regional chaos.
Whose Interests Are Served?
Not the American people. Not U.S. allies. Not the soldiers now bracing for incoming fire in desert outposts half a world away.
Only one state’s immediate strategic objectives have been met: Israel’s.
For decades, Israel has urged Washington to take military action against Iran. What it has never been willing to do itself—absorb the backlash—it has now succeeded in outsourcing.
Trump, advised solely by John Ratcliffe and General Erik Kurilla—men deeply embedded in Israel’s defence-political sphere—has acted without debate, without caution, and without care for the American lives this will cost.
This is not alliance. This is obedience.
A Final Reckoning
In choosing to bomb Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, the United States has not protected its national security—it has endangered it. It has not asserted independence—it has ceded it.
Israel will remain fortified and protected. America will burn its diplomatic credibility, its military readiness, and perhaps its economy—all in the name of someone else’s red lines.
So we must ask, with clear eyes and a sober conscience:
Is this truly American power?
Or is it American sacrifice—for another nation’s war?
