The United States launched the attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran on Sunday, June 21, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social, as the Israel-Iran war entered the second week.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” wrote Trump on Truth Social on June 21. “All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.”
The conflict began a week ago when Israel started conducting airstrikes against Iranian nuclear and military sites, primarily targeting uranium enrichment facilities to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The two countries have been engaged in aerial strikes and Trump had been pondering U.S. involvement for the past week.
