“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran.”
President Donald Trump said Saturday the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, bringing the U.S. directly into Israel’s war with Tehran.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Saturday.
It was not immediately clear what damage the strikes caused or how significant a blow was dealt to Tehran’s program. It could take some time before the results are clear. Trump said the U.S. used “a full payload of BOMBS … on the primary site, Fordow,” which is also known as Fordo.
The strikes mark the most significant U.S. military attack on Iran in modern history and will have a defining impact on the legacy of Trump’s second term in office.
Trump said all planes are “safely on their way home,” and out of Iranian airspace. Trump had said Thursday he would take two weeks to decide whether to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites to give diplomacy a chance.
“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!,” he said in the statement.
