Experts Warn of Significant Risks in Potential Strike on Iranian Nuclear Facilities
June 18, 2025, 6:04 p.m. ET – The prospect of a U.S. military strike against Iran has intensified discussions among military and foreign policy experts, who caution that the aftermath could bring unpredictable challenges. The American B-2 stealth bomber is the only aircraft capable of targeting Iran’s most fortified nuclear facilities, a task fraught with peril.
As B-2 bombers prepare to depart from bases in Missouri and the Indian Ocean, military planners are eyeing Iran's Fordo facility, known for its fortified nuclear infrastructure. Experts suggest that executing a strike could disrupt Iran's nuclear ambitions, a goal of U.S. policy since the plant’s revelation in 2009. Nevertheless, voices of caution echo through Washington, recalling the challenges faced in Iraq and Afghanistan.
President Trump remarked on the heightened tension and indicated that while he is contemplating a decisive military response, he remains undecided. His recent comments reflect a departure from previous incendiary rhetoric, suggesting he is weighing the complexities surrounding any potential military action.
For years, the idea of direct military engagement with Iran has been met with skepticism due to the potential escalation into broader conflict. The implications of a strike could reverberate throughout the region, affecting U.S. interests and alliances. As the world watches closely, the Trump administration grapples with the formidable decision of whether to proceed with a military option.
