The United States quietly informed Iran ahead of devastating air strikes on three key nuclear sites, signalling no desire for full-scale war.​

A senior Iranian political source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed to Amwaj.media that Washington conveyed that it did not seek an all-out confrontation on June 21, and intends to target only the Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz nuclear facilities.​

Iranian officials swiftly evacuated the sites, securing "most" of the country’s enriched uranium stockpile in undisclosed locations, according to the source.​

Neither the US nor Iranian authorities have publicly commented on the report.​

The United Kingdom’s Secretary of State for Business and Trade Jonathan Reynolds, on the other hand, said London was informed ahead of the attack.​

Three B-2 bombers launched six 13.6 kg bunker-busting Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs on Fordow’s underground enrichment plant.​

Experts believe two bombs struck each of Fordow’s heavily fortified entrances, with another pair aimed at its ventilation shaft.​

Meanwhile, a US submarine reportedly fired 30 Tomahawk missiles at Natanz and the sprawling Isfahan nuclear complex.​

Both sites had been hit days earlier by Israeli forces.​

US involvement​

Fox News, citing a US official, suggested Isfahan presented a harder target than the deeply buried Fordow site.​

“This was the hardest target,” the official said on background. “Everyone was talking about and focused on Fordow, but Isfahan was actually the hardest target.”​

President Trump declared the nuclear sites “completely and totally obliterated,” warning that future US strikes would be “far greater.”​

Iran condemned the strikes as illegal and a breach of international law.​

Tehran, earlier, accused the International Atomic Energy Agency of “obscuring the truth” about the country’s nuclear programme after the UN watchdog said Iran is in breach of its nuclear obligations.​

Iran’s nuclear authority said legal measures were being prepared, as both sides brace for what could follow this dramatic escalation.​
