President Donald Trump announced Saturday night that the U.S. has struck three nuclear sites in Iran, deeming the operation “very successful.”
“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “All planes are safely on their way home.”
The announcement comes more than a week after Israel began attacks on Iran, claiming that the country was close to assembling nuclear weapons — something U.S. intelligence has challenged. And it marks one of Trump’s most significant decisions so far of his second presidency, with potentially far-reaching consequences in the region and politically at home.
