President Donald Trump said U.S. air forces dropped bombs on three nuclear sites in Iran today.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” he said on Truth Social in a statement also distributed to media via email.
Trump said the planes involved are now outside of Iranian airspace.
Trump last week said he would mull over U.S. participation in Israel’s strikes against Iran and come up with a decision within two weeks, giving today’s airstrikes an element of surprise
“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” the president said.
In an address to the nation tonight, Trump said the country’s key nuclear enrichment facilities were “completely and totally obliterated,” adding that any future attacks would be “far greater and a lot easier.”
“If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes,” Trump said.
