US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the US military has carried out a “very successful attack” on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordow.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.
“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” he said, adding that the planes were safely out of Iranian airspace and on the way home.
Earlier, the United States began evacuation flights from Israel, the US ambassador said Saturday, as Israel trades deadly strikes with archenemy Iran.
Several other countries, including China, India and several European nations, have also arranged evacuations for their nationals.
Israel and Iran have exchanged wave after wave of devastating strikes since Israel launched its aerial campaign on June 13, saying Tehran was on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon.
Iran’s health ministry on Saturday gave a toll of more than 400 people killed in Israeli attacks.
Iran’s retaliatory strikes have killed at least 25 people in Israel, according to official figures.
