The targets included the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
Trump's Statement
Using his Truth Social platform, Trump declared:
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors."
