US-Israel airstrike obliterates Iran’s missile depot with 2,000-pound bunker busters US and Israeli forces reportedly struck an ammunition depot in Iran’s Isfahan early Tuesday, triggering secondary explosions across the area. US and Israeli forces carried out a strike on a suspected ammunition depot in Iran’s Isfahan early Tuesday, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.The attack, which reportedly used 2,000-pound bunker-buster bombs, marks a major escalation as the conflict in the region entered its second month. A video shared the same day by US President Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform showed multiple explosions lighting up the night sky, followed by fires and thick smoke. The clip was posted without any caption or context, and its authenticity could not be independently verified.Strike targets key military zoneU.S. officials cited in reports said the strike focused on a military-linked site in Isfahan, a central Iranian city known for hosting major defense infrastructure. Among these are facilities linked to Iran’s military operations, including the Badr airbase.The use of bunker-buster bombs suggests the target may have included hardened or underground structures. Reports indicate that the initial blast triggered a chain of secondary explosions, pointing to the presence of stored ammunition or explosives at the site.Witness accounts described powerful shockwaves and fireballs spreading across parts of the city shortly after the strike. These secondary blasts added to the scale of destruction and raised concerns about the extent of damage in the area.JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Isfahan shaken by massive blasts following U.S.-Israeli strikes. pic.twitter.com/0lTBhJ0b7C— Donald J Trump Posts TruthSocial March 31, 2026Strategic importance of IsfahanIsfahan, with an estimated population of 2.3 million, plays a central role in Iran’s military and nuclear-linked infrastructure. The city is believed to host facilities tied to the country’s nuclear program, making it a sensitive and high-value target.Recent intelligence assessments cited in reports suggest that Iran may have moved a significant portion of its highly enriched uranium stockpile to underground locations in Isfahan. The stockpile is estimated at around 1,190 pounds , though these claims remain unverified.The presence of such assets could explain the choice of heavy, bunker-penetrating munitions, designed to destroy deeply buried targets. However, there has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding the extent of damage or the nature of the facilities hit.Rising tensions and global risksThe strike comes amid growing tensions in the Middle East, as military activity between the U.S., Israel, and Iran intensifies. Just a day before the reported attack, Trump warned that failure to reach a deal with Iran could lead to “widespread destruction” of its energy and nuclear infrastructure.He also stated that if talks with the “new, and more reasonable regime” do not result in an agreement and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. would target key Iranian energy sites. These include power plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island, a major oil export hub.At the same time, several regional powers, including Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, have begun discussions aimed at finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis.Conflict spills across the regionThe ongoing conflict is already affecting stability across the Middle East. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route, is facing near-closure, raising concerns about disruptions to the supply of energy, fertilizer, and other essential commodities.The United Arab Emirates issued multiple alerts overnight, while Saudi Arabia and Kuwait reported intercepting drones and missiles.In a separate incident, the Kuwaiti crude carrier Al-Salmi was attacked by Iran while anchored near a Dubai port, according to Kuwait Petroleum Corp. There were no injuries reported among the crew, though officials warned the strike may have caused an “oil spill in the surrounding waters.”
