President Donald Trump announced Saturday that the U.S. had conducted military strikes inside Iran that left key nuclear facilities “completely and totally obliterated,” escalating Israel’s conflict with the Islamic republic over its nuclear program.
The targets included the deeply buried Fordow nuclear facility, as well as Natanz and Isfahan.
“Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terror,” Trump said in a White House address, flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State and acting national security adviser Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
