Trump announces U.S. bombed three nuclear sites in Iran

President Trump spoke to the nation in his first Oval Office address as the 47th commander in chief. Trump caught the world off-guard on Saturday by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites — after his apparently strategic deception indicating that such strikes weren’t imminent and trickery with the deployment of US Air Force B-2 bombers.

US bombs three Iranian nuke bases in historic strike as Trump hails ‘very successful’ blitz & will address nation

THE US military has bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities in an historic strike against the Islamic Republic.

America has now directly joined Israel’s campaign of bombing Iran as they both seek to obliterate Tehran’s nuclear program.

Posting on Truth Social, President Donald Trump said US bombers targeted Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan enrichment sites – all key to Iran’s doomsday project.

He wrote: “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.”

Trump added that “all planes are safely on their way home.

“Congratulations to our great American Warriors,” he added.

The bombings come just two days after Trump said he would decide “within two weeks” whether to join key ally Israel in attacking Iran.

In a phone call to Axios, Trump said: “We had a great success tonight. Your Israel is much safer now.”

Though Tehran had threatened that a US intervention in the Middle East would be “a recipe for all-out war” in the region. 

Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported early Sunday that attacks targeted the country’s Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites.

IRNA quoted Akbar Salehi, Isfahan’s deputy governor in charge of security affairs, saying there had been attacks around the sites. He did not elaborate.

Another official confirmed an attack targeting Iran’s underground Fordow nuclear site.

Trump added in a later post that he would address the nation at 10pm ET, 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!”

The US military used their flagship B-2 bombers to drop six GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) 30,000lb “bunker-buster” bombs on Fordow, officials revealed.

They said the assessments indicated that the facility had been “taken off the table”.

While 30 BGM-109 Tomahawk Land-Attack Cruise Missiles (TLAMs) were launched from submarines with the US Navy at the Natanz and Isfahan Nuclear Facilities.

It marked the first combat use of GBU-57 MOP in the history of warfare.

Earlier on Saturday, there were reports that six US B-2 bombers — which carry so-called “bunker buster” bombs — were headed out of the US.

On Friday, the US deployed six B-2 long-range stealth bombers capable of dropping the bunker-buster bombs required to wipe out Iran’s most secretive nuclear facility – Fordow.

Israel said its airstrikes on Iran will not stop until it destroys the regime’s capability of enriching uranium to weapons-grade and making a nuclear weapon.

At the heart of its nuclear program, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, is encased in steel more than 300 feet beneath solid rock.

Israel’s arsenal lacked huge bunker-buster bombs needed to destroy the underground enrichment facility – some 125 miles from capital Tehran.

The attack now threatens to reignite America’s war with Yemen’s Houthi rebels, the last member of Iran’s self-described Axis of Resistance able to launch regular attacks.

The Houthis on Saturday warned they would resume attacking American ships in the Red Sea corridor if the US joined the Israeli campaign.

Iran's Nuclear Sites

Arak plant – satellite pictures of this plant near the Iranian town of Arak surfaced over 20 years ago.

It contains a heavy-water reactor with plutonium that can be used for nuclear bombs.

Bushehr nuclear power station – this power plant is a combination of Russian and German engineering.

It’s nuclear reactor is operating at 100% power and the site is home to enriched uranium, used for nuclear bombs.

Gachin uranium mine – home to uranium ore concentrate, or yellowcake, which can be transformed into enriched uranium ready for nuke bomb assembling.

Isfahan conversion plant – yellowcake is converted here into three dangerous substances.

Hexafluoride gase used in the enrichment process, uranium oxide used to fuel reactors and metal used in the cores of nuclear bombs.

Natanz uranium enrichment plant – this is Iran’s largest enrichment base.

It’s made up of three underground buildings and is closely watched by the international community.

Parchin military site – south of Tehran, this site is focused on research and the production of ammo, rockets and explosives.

Concerns have been raised that it is also used as part of Iran’s nuclear weapon development.

Qom uranium enrichment plant – a heavily fortified and initially secret facility where Iran carries out uranium enrichment.
