Trump says US forces have attacked Iran
The president says in a social media post that the US has conducted “very successful” strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, and that all planes are now out of Iranian airspace.
“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 air space,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American 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.”

From CNN's Alejandra JaramilloPresident Donald Trump announced he will deliver an address to the nation at 10pm ET on Saturday from the White House, following what he called a “very successful military operation” targeting Iranian nuclear facilities.
“I will be giving an Address to the Nation at 10:00 P.M., at the White House, regarding our very successful military operation in Iran. This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR. THANK YOU!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

Surprise US attack on Iran ends guessing game
Ever since Israel launched its attack on Iran there’s been a “will he won’t he?” guessing game on if President Trump will join in on the strikes.
It’s been hugely controversial due to the concern of a further escalation in the Middle East, and another US intervention in the region. The kind of intervention that Donald Trump has long campaigned against.
Just two days ago he said he’d make his decision within two weeks, which lowered the temperature.
But it appears now almost out of the blue “successful strikes” have been carried out according to him.
This includes on Fordo - a US “bunker buster bomb” was needed to do that. As of yet we’ve not seen any actual footage - all we have to go by so far is his social media post.
Reminder that we are here because of Trump and Netanyahu
