President adds three nuclear sites in Iran were attacked

President Trump said Saturday the U.S. had completed strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” he said in a social media post, adding all U.S. planes had left Iran air space.

The move came after the Pentagon moved stealthy B-2 bombers over the Pacific from their Air Force base in Missouri The B-2s can carry the GBU-57 bunker buster, the 30,000-pound conventional weapon that defense analysts say has the best chance of damaging Iran’s Fordow uranium-enrichment facility.

Trump had earlier told senior aides that he had approved of attack plans for Iran, but was waiting to see if Tehran would abandon its nuclear program, people familiar with the deliberations said.

Israel’s military continued its strikes on Iran’s military leadership and nuclear infrastructure on Saturday. The military said it had killed three more senior Iranian military leaders and hit Iran’s Isfahan nuclear facility. Israel’s top general has warned that the war could be lengthy, calling it the most complex military campaign in the country’s history.

Iran, for its part, remained defiant prior to the strikes, telling diplomats this week that it won’t end its enrichment of nuclear fuel and won’t enter talks with the U.S. unless Israel stops its attacks.
