ASTONISHING satellite pictures have emerged of the aftermath of the US’s “devastating” strikes on Iranian nuclear bases.

Operation Midnight saw the US blitz three of Iran’s key nuclear facilities in an attack Trump has called a “spectacular success”.

Bunker buster bombs were dropped on the Fordow enrichment plant – a heavily guarded site buried deep beneath a mountain near the city of Qom.

Also hit were the nuclear plants at Natanz and Isfahan, which Israel had already targeted with its own missiles.

US submarines also launched around 30 Tomahawk missiles in a coordinated air-and-sea operation.

Trump declared that the Fordow plant is now “gone” and all the night’s targets were “obliterated”.

Satellite imagery of the destroyed bases has since revealed the extent of the damage.

Two clusters of at least six holes are seen at the Fordow nuclear site, where the massive 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs were dropped.

Bombs of this kind are believed to be able to penetrate about 200 feet below the surface before exploding.

Following the bombing, Sir Keir Starmer reinstated his commitment to making Iran nuke-free.

He, along with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, released a joint statement following the US bombings on Iran.

“Today, we discussed the current developments in the Middle East. We restate our dedication to ensuring peace and stability for every country in the region. We confirm our support for Israel’s security.

“We have consistently been clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon and can no longer pose a threat to regional security.

“Earlier today, the United States launched targeted military strikes on nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Our ongoing objective is to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

“We urge Iran to participate in negotiations aimed at reaching an agreement that resolves all issues related to its nuclear program. We are prepared to assist in achieving this goal in cooperation with all involved parties.

“We urge Iran not to take any further action that could destabilise the region. We will continue our joint diplomatic efforts to defuse tensions and ensure the conflict does not intensify and spread further.”

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said Operation Midnight Hammer was “an incredible and overwhelming success” that took months and weeks of planning.

He added Trump has been clear that “any retaliation by Iran” against the US would be “met with force far greater” than what was seen on Saturday night.

Hegseth said: “Iran would be smart to heed those words. He’s said it before, and he means it.”

The Defence Secretary went on to praise the US leader, calling it “bold and brilliant, showing the world that American deterrence is back”.

He urged: “When this President speaks, the world should listen.”

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Arghchi has said he is going to Russia today to meet mad leader Putin.

He revealed: “I’m going to Moscow this afternoon, and I have a meeting with President Putin tomorrow morning.”

Arghchi called Moscow a “friend of Iran,” adding “we always consult with each other”.

Fears loom that the conflict could spiral into a world war, with Putin puppet Dmitry Medvedev making a veiled threat to supply Iran with nuclear weapons.

He said: “A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their nuclear weapons.”

After declaring the US strikes as being a success, Trump warned that further action could be taken if Tehran doesn’t agree to an adequate peace deal.

He said in a nationally televised speech at the White House: “Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.”

“There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.”

“Remember there are many targets left. Tonight’s was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal.

“But if peace does not come quickly we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.

“Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes. There’s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight.”

And shortly after speaking on-camera, he posted to Truth Social: “This cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.

“Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight’s was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal.

“But if peace does not come quickly we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.”

Meanwhile Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Arghchi dubbed the strikes “outrageous and will have everlasting consequences”.

He also called the military action “a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran’s peaceful nuclear installations”.
