The US Air Force has conducted a successful attack on three Iranian nuclear facilities, and all aircraft have returned to airbases, US President Donald Trump reported on Truth Social.
"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’s space," the US leader wrote. "All planes are safely on their way home," he added.
According to Reuters, the attack involved B-2 strategic bombers previously redeployed to Guam, a US overseas territory in the Pacific. These aircraft are capable of carrying GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs, which are specifically designed to penetrate heavily fortified underground targets.
US President Donald Trump is not planning any new strikes on Iran for the time being, CNN reported, citing sources.
According to the report, Trump expects that following Washington’s recent attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities, Tehran will agree to return to the negotiating table and "end this war."

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has said that Trump did not seek congressional authorisation for the strikes and will bear full responsibility for “any adverse consequences”.
ReplyDelete“Donald Trump promised to bring peace to the Middle East. He has failed to deliver on that promise. The risk of war has now dramatically increased, and I pray for the safety of our troops in the region who have been put in harm’s way,” Jeffries said in a statement, adding that Trump “misled the country about his intentions”.
