President Trump announced Saturday night that the U.S. bombed three nuclear sites in Iran and addressed the nation to describe the strike as a "spectacular military success."
"Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace," he said in an address to the nation from the East Room of the White House.
His announcement came shortly after the president said he would wait before making a decision about U.S. involvement.
“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 posted on Truth Social.
The bombs targeted three nuclear sites in Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow, located inside a mountain.
