22.06.2025Day Trump Bombed Iran Nuclear Sites
Trump launched what he called "Operation Midnight Hammer" against three Iranian nuclear facilities at Isfahan, Natanz and Fordo, using B-2 stealth bombers and previously unused MOP bunker-buster weapons. The strikes dominated Spanish media from midnight onwards, with Trump declaring the U.S. had "destroyed Iran's three main nuclear bases" while warning of either "peace or tragedy."

Iran's parliament voted to consider closing the Strait of Hormuz while promising "eternal consequences," and Tehran dispatched its foreign minister to Moscow for emergency talks with Putin. Netanyahu celebrated Trump's escalation, stating "first comes force, then comes peace."

Sánchez leveraged the international crisis to secure NATO concessions, negotiating Spanish defense spending at 2.1% of GDP rather than the demanded 5%, claiming this would save 350 billion euros. The agreement provided political relief from the ongoing corruption scandal, as Koldo changed lawyers after being advised to cooperate with prosecutors. Spanish officials called for diplomatic de-escalation while avoiding direct criticism of the American strikes.
