US bombs three nuclear sites in Iran

 President Donald Trump says the United States has bombed
three nuclear sites in Iran.

 

Trump, in a social media post early on Sunday, said the US
military struck the nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

 

The development heralds the United States’ direct entry into
Israel’s week-long military campaign to destroy Iran’s nuclear enrichment
facilities.

 

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three
Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump tweeted.

 

“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.

 

“There is not another military in the world that could have
done this. Now is the time for peace.”

 

In a separate post, Trump said he would address Americans on
the strikes, while describing the attack as a “historic moment”.

 

 

The US president said “Iran must now agree to end this war”,
adding that the Islamic Republic “will get hit” again if it does not embrace
peace.

 

Iranian government officials have confirmed the attacks on
its nuclear sites, according to Tasnim News Agency.

 

Morteza Haydari, spokesperson of crisis management in Iran’s
Qom province, was quoted as saying that part of the Fordow nuclear plant was
attacked by “enemy airstrikes”.

 

Akbar Salehi, the security deputy governor of Isfahan, also
said “we saw attacks near the nuclear sites of Isfahan and Natanz”.

 

Iran had previously pledged to retaliate if the US aligned
with Israel on the military campaign.

 

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, had warned
the US that any strike targeting his country would “result in irreparable
damage for them”.

 

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei had also
threatened an “all-out war in the region” if America joins the war.
