The United States military launched airstrikes against Iran Saturday night – a historic attack that followed repeated demands from President Trump to the Islamic Republic to surrender after Israel initiated extensive strikes on the country’s nuclear infrastructure and military.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space,” Trump posted on Truth Social just before 8 p.m. Saturday — marking the first-ever US strike against Iranian territory.
“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Trump spent days behind closed doors vacillating between negotiating a deal with Iran to limit its uranium enrichment — ultimately giving a two-week deadline for renewed negotiations.
On Friday, Tehran, however, said it would refuse to hold nuclear talks with the US while it was still under attack from Israel.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said negotiations with the US wouldn’t happen “until Israeli aggression stops” and would retaliate if Trump launched an attack.
A source close to the White House said Trump decided Friday to strike Iran with “overwhelming force,” with the US deploying six nuke plant neutralizing B-2 steal bombers jets to be on standby for a strike.
Israel began its attack on Iran last Friday by taking out its top nuclear scientists and military officials responsible for the country’s nuclear enrichment program.
As the two nations continued to trade deadly and destructive blows, Trump unleashed an open threat to Tehran to give up its nuclear program or else he’d seek a “real end” to the Iran-Israel conflict.
He also revealed that the US knows “exactly” where Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is hiding out – but is letting him live “for now.”

US bombs three nuclear sites in Iran including key Fordow bunker as Trump hails ‘very successful attack’
The United States has bombed three nuclear sites in Iran in a risky move that could spark a wider regional conflict.
President Donald Trump tonight hailed the ‘very successful attack’ on the key Fordow bunker, Natanz and Esfahan sites.
He said American planes had dropped a ‘full payload of bombs’ and had now left Iranian airspace.
‘We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,’ Trump declared in a post on social media.
‘All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.’
Trump added in a later post that he would address the national at 10:00 p.m. eastern time, writing ‘This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR. THANK YOU!’
Trump said B-2 stealth bombers were used but did not specify which types of bombs were dropped.
The decision to directly involve the US comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country’s air defenses and nuclear program.
