The United States bombed three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday.
Earlier in the day, the United States sent multiple B-2 bombers across the Pacific Ocean, sparking speculation that an attack was imminent.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordo, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.
Good. This was the right call. The regime deserves it.
Well done, President @realDonaldTrump.To my fellow citizens: We have the best Air Force in the world. It makes me so proud.
Fly, Fight, Win. https://t.co/1FFmN31LPY

“Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this,” Trump wrote.
“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
A Defense Department official said multiple B-2 bombers struck Fordo, the main nuclear site not damaged in Israel’s initial attack last Friday, according to The New York Times.
The Times said three sites were hit — the underground facility at Fordo, the enrichment plant at Natanz that Israel attacked last week, and a site in Isfahan.
The Ifshan site is believed to be where near-nuclear-grade uranium is stored.

The B-2 was required because only the GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb has a chance of destroying the buried lab, according to The Hill.
The 20-and-a- half-foot-long bomb is a GPS-guided, penetrating device created to destroy deeply buried and hardened tunnels or bunkers. The Air Force said it has tested putting two MOPs on a B-2, which would give the plane a 60,000-pound payload, well above its 40,000 pound rating.

“The MOP is the most powerful and deeply burrowing non-nuclear bunker buster on earth and is critical to taking out highly fortified targets buried under literal mountains, like those found in Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea,” The War Zone wrote.
“The weapon is guided and can impact the surface above its target with a high degree of accuracy.”
