Greg Myre: 美国动用B-2隐形轰炸机和潜艇袭击了伊朗的三个核设施，分别是福尔多、纳坦兹和伊斯法罕。这些袭击发生在星期天黎明前。B-2隐形轰炸机从怀特曼空军基地往返飞行了30多个小时，投下了重达3万磅的掩体炸弹，这是这些炸弹首次在战斗中使用。至少有一艘潜艇被用来发射战斧导弹。评估损失程度需要时间，需要确定这些设施是被完全摧毁还是部分摧毁，以及伊朗拥有的900磅左右的高浓缩铀在哪里。这次袭击会对伊朗的核计划造成多大的影响？美国将使用卫星照片，并可能拦截伊朗领导人之间的通信，以了解损失程度。确定损失程度需要时间，特别是对于像福尔多这样建在山里的设施。 Tamara Keith: 让我们从袭击的细节开始。特朗普总统说他将在未来两周内做出决定。
