U.S. strikes Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says
The United States bombed multiple nuclear sites in Iran, President Trump announced in a social media post on Saturday. The air strikes are the first time the United States has conducted a direct military attack on Iran and further escalated a military conflict that began between Iran and Israel last week. "We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan," President Trump said in a social media post. "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, "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." According to Israeli officials, it forces have killed some of Iran's top military commanders, along with at least nine scientists working on nuclear enrichment, and it has damaged several nuclear enrichment facilities. Israel was able to conduct its initial strikes mostly with its own intelligence and forces, but it leaned heavily on U.S. intelligence, as well as U.S. munitions and defense systems that Washington had previously provided. Two U.S. officials told NBC News this week that the United States used ground-based interceptors and ships to defend Israel against Iranian missiles. Israel was able to hit some of Iran's nuclear facilities on its own, but it is not believed to be able to strike a key site at Fordo. The facility at Fordo, Iran's most advanced, is built inside a mountain and believed to be safe from any bomb except for the United States' GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), a 'bunker buster' weapon. Though the United States has provided Israel with other bunker busters, Israel is not known to have any plane capable of delivering the MOP, making U.S. participation necessary for any successful airstrike on Fordo. Trump's shift NBC News has reported that President Donald Trump had opposed Israeli military action against Iran, favoring negotiations over bombing, but that in the days before the initial strikes, he became convinced that Israel's heightened anxiety over Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities was warranted. After a pivotal June 8 briefing from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, about Israel's plans and U.S. options for supporting its operation, he gave tacit approval to Israel to have at it and decided to provide limited U.S. backing. Though he previously may have been publicly pushing for diplomatic solutions, and though many of his MAGA allies have been advocating against U.S. military involvement, Trump's rhetoric about Iran has largely escalated since Israel's campaign began. Wednesday morning, he said he was still considering U.S. strikes. 'I may do it. I may not do it,' he told reporters outside the White House. 'Nobody knows what I'm going to do.' Asked what he meant with his 'UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!' post, he said, 'That means I've had it. OK, I've had it. I give up. No more.'
