President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States has successfully completed a major airstrike operation targeting three nuclear sites inside Iran—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan—marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
“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. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” Trump posted to Truth Social early Saturday morning.

The strike reportedly involved multiple U.S. aircraft delivering targeted payloads at key Iranian nuclear infrastructure. Trump emphasized that all aircraft involved have exited Iranian airspace and are returning safely.
The White House has not issued an official statement beyond the president’s social media post. The Pentagon has yet to confirm details of the operation.
This marks the most direct U.S. military intervention in the Israel-Iran conflict since hostilities escalated on June 13. The Fordow nuclear facility, believed to be heavily fortified, has long been a point of contention in Western-Iranian relations due to its role in uranium enrichment.
Further reaction from international leaders and the United Nations is expected in the coming hours.
We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan… NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! 🇺🇸
