Trump posts clip of massive blast after 2,000-lb bunker buster bombs rip through an Iranian ammunition depot

President Trump shared jaw-dropping video footage Monday of a massive explosion in Iran reportedly caused by a US airstrike on a large ammunition depot in Isfahan.

A “high volume” of 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs was used in the strike posted by Trump on Truth Social, a US official told the Wall Street Journal.

The footage that caught the president’s eye is one of several videos of fiery blasts that have taken place in Isfahan, the country’s third-most populous city and the location of the majority of Tehran’s 60% enriched uranium as well as a sprawling “missile city”.

One purported video showed a mushroom cloud forming over the target of one of the airstrikes and the sky turning red-orange from the column of flame.

The explosions were so powerful they could be seen from the Meteosat 12 weather satellite, according to the OSINTtechnical X account.

US Central Command did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth and ⁠Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will hold a press conference related to Operation Epic Fury on Tuesday morning, the Pentagon announced as the strikes on Isfahan were taking place.

Iran’s uranium stockpiles in Isfahan, located 270 miles south of Tehran, are believed to be housed in facilities deep underground, according to International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi.

The US military bombed a nuclear research center in Isfahan last June during Operation Midnight Hammer.

The city is also home to the Isfahan Missile Complex, Iran’s largest missile assembly and production site, according to the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), a global security nonprofit.

One of several so-called “missile cities” in Iran, the Isfahan complex was built with help from North Korea and China in the late 1980s, according to NTI, and handles the assembly and storage of ballistic missiles, as well as the manufacturing of the rocket propellants and components.

US and Israeli aircraft have repeatedly targeted Iran’s underground missile cities throughout the war, waiting for the regime to deploy missile launchers from the sites before striking, the Journal reported earlier this month.

Some experts believe much of Iran’s missile arsenal is now entombed in the subterranean bases as a result of US and Israeli airstrikes.
