The United States (US) has carried out successful airstrikes in Iran, destroying nuclear sites in the Arab nation.
This was announced in a statement on X by US President Donald Trump on Sunday.
According to the statement, the successful airstrike led to the destruction of three nuclear sites in Iran.
Trump disclosed that “a full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary sites” in Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan, turning the nuclear sites into ruins.
This intervention by the US comes after protracted airstrikes between Israel and Iran, which have led to the death of over 200 people and the destruction of properties.
In a bid to stop Iran from the completion of its nuclear weapons, Israel launched missile strikes into Iran last Friday, killing some army chiefs and nuclear scientists.
In retaliation, the Arab nation attacked Tel Aviv with missiles, targeting residential areas and even a hospital in Beersheba, Southern Israel.
In a bid to quell the hostilities between both nations, Trump demanded the “unconditional surrender” of Iran, a call which infuriated the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who vowed never to surrender.
According to Trump, all US fighter jets which carried out the bombings in Iran have successfully returned to American soil with no casualties recorded.
“We have completed our very successful attack on three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Estahan,” Trump said.
“All planes are now outside of Iran airspace,” he added.
“A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.
“All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our very great warriors. There is not another military in the world that could have done this; now is the time for peace.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter,” the US president added.
At the time of filing this report, Iran had yet to confirm the attack; however, its Supreme Leader, who has gone into hiding in underground bunkers for fear of assassination, had threatened to attack America in the event it carries out an attack in Iran.
