US strike hits Iran ammunition depot in Isfahan

President Donald Trump shared a video on Truth Social on March 31, 2026, showing a military strike in Iran at night. The video showed explosions lighting up the sky. 

According to reports, the US carried out a massive strike on an ammunition depot in Isfahan on March 31, 2026.

The strike was said to be significant in scale, with officials pointing to the type of weapons believed to be stored at the site

The video that Trump shared showed several explosions occurring one after another, making it appear like an organized attack. The video did not provide exact details about the location, but it aligned with reports of the strike in Isfahan. 

Iran strike escalates tensions with US, Israel

The reported strike comes amid heightened tensions involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. Recent developments in the region have led to increased military activity and warnings from multiple governments.

Reports say the US military carried out the strike on March 31, 2026, targeting a building believed to store a large cache of weapons.

The Wall Street Journal spoke to a US official who said the depot contained a large number of 2,000-pound penetrator munitions, designed to destroy fortified or underground targets.

Earlier, Trump said the US would destroy Iranian energy sites if discussions with a “new, and more reasonable regime” did not lead to a deal and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The president posted the comments on social media after Iran said it considered the US’s 15-point peace plan to be largely made up of “excessive, unrealistic and unreasonable demands.”

Trump’s decision to share the footage publicly added to the visibility of the operation. The clip, posted without extensive commentary, showed the intensity of the explosions and the nighttime conditions under which the strike took place.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding damage or casualties linked to the reported strike. The presence of heavy munitions at the site has raised concerns about its potential use in regional conflicts.
