Trump: Successful Attack On 3 Iranian Nuclear Sites

U.S. President Donald Trump: “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.”

U.S. President Donald Trump: “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.” B-2 bombers were used in the attacks on the nuclear facilities.

“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.”

In an additional statement, Trump said “Any retaliation by Iran against the United States of America will be met with force far greater than what was witnessed tonight.”

Iranian state-run television said that three nuclear sites had been evacuated before being hit, but it was reported after strikes by the United States on the Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz nuclear sites.

Iranian state television: "Trump usually bluffs. The extent of the damage needs to be assessed. The Islamic Republic's nuclear industry cannot be destroyed by bombing." Donald Trump re-posted an OSINT statement on social media by Open Source Intel that said "Fordow is gone".

Fox News has reported that the deployment of B-2 bombers to Guam was a diversion and that the actual strikes were conducted by a separate group of bombers positioned earlier. While we are unable to independently verify this claim at this time, we are actively investigating.

The tactic appears consistent with previous instances of military deception, such as when Israel signaled a ground incursion into Gaza, prompting Hamas to retreat into tunnel systems that were subsequently targeted.
