President Donald Trump said that the US military had carried out strikes Sunday on three Iranian nuclear sites and that Tehran “must now agree to end this war”, following days of speculation over whether the United States would join its ally Israel’s bombing campaign.
As the Iran-Israel war entered its second week, here are the latest developments:
Trump said the US military carried out a “very successful attack” on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordo.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran,” including Fordo, Natanz, and Esfahan, Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.
“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site,” Fordo, he said, adding that the planes were safely out of Iranian airspace and on the way home.
The president said that after the strikes, Iran “must now agree to end this war”, insisting that under no circumstances should Iran possess a nuclear weapon.
Iranian media said part of the Fordo uranium enrichment facility as well as the Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites were attacked.
Israel raised its alert level after the strikes, permitting only essential activities until further notice, the military announced.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian warned his country’s “response to the continued aggression of the Zionist regime will be more devastating” during a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, according to the official IRNA news agency.
