June 22, 2025 — President Donald Trump announced Saturday evening that the United States had conducted targeted airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote:
“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.”
He added that a “full payload of bombs” was deployed on the Fordow facility and praised U.S. military personnel involved in the operation:
“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.”
Trump concluded his message with a call for diplomacy:
“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
The strikes mark a significant escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions, with global observers closely watching for Tehran’s response. Official statements from the Pentagon or international leaders were not immediately available at the time of Trump’s announcement.
