President Donald Trump Saturday said The United States attacked Iran by hitting three nuclear Sites in Formon, Nataza and Espakhan.
“We have completed a very successful attack on three nuclear monuments in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan,” Trump wrote further social media Saturday.
“All planes are now under the borders of Iran’s air space. The full useful load of bombs was dropped on the main section of the Ford,” Trump wrote.
“All planes are safe on the way home. Congratulations to our great US soldiers. There is no other military in the world who could do it. Now is the time of peace!” The president wrote.
Trump said he would turn to the nation at 10 pm on Saturday.
The action puts the United States in a direct armed conflict with Iran, a large -scale escalation in the efforts of Israel to scoop Tehran’s nuclear program and overthrow its regime.
The decision also again attracts US troops into an active war in the Middle East – something Trump He promised to avoid during the second term.
It also means a serious change from less than 48 hours ago when Trump said the US would need “two weeks” to find out whether the conflict between Israel and Iran would be decided diplomatically.
“Based on the fact that there is a big chance of negotiations that may or not happen to Iran in the near future, I decide whether to go over the next two weeks,” Trump said on Thursday in a statement issued by a white home.
Behind the scenes Trump administration has tried to reach a deal with Iran by its nuclear program and Trump has been in recent months justify called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu To avoid the strike.
This diplomatic path can be closed. Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has recently stated that “any US military introduction will undoubtedly be caused by irreparable damage.”
“When they enter the military, they threaten harm they cannot recover,” he added in a statement read on Iran’s state television.
On June 17, 2025, people were on the roof among the smoke after the night of the Israeli strike in Tehran.

Trump insisted that the US had “nothing to do with the attack on Iran”, writing on social media that “we can easily make a deal between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict !!!”
But since Israel’s strikes seemed to strike many key Iranian military and nuclear purposes, Trump’s tone seemed to move to a more aggressive posture.
On Tuesday, Trump threatened the Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling him an “easy goal” and writing that “patience is dressed in America.”
Trump and previous US presidents have long insisted that Iran could not have nuclear weapons.
Trump in his first term pulled the US from nuclear arrangement The fact that the Obama administration and other countries concluded in 2015 with Iran, claiming that it was unable to protect America or restrain Tehran enrichment.
Israel has long claimed that Iran is developing nuclear weapons and has previously threatened to hit the nuclear program. But so far, Tel -has restricted its military interaction with purposeful murders and cyber -afternoons.
Tulsi Gabard, director of Trump’s national intelligence, showed that the American intelligence community “continues to evaluate that Iran is not building nuclear weapons, and the Homeland’s High leader did not allow the nuclear weapons program, which he suspended in 2003.”
Trump directly rejected the estimate of his own cabinet on Tuesday. “I don’t care what she said. I think they were very close to having it,” Trump said at the Air Force first.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
