The Trump administration has launched a military strike against Iran.

President Trump announced on social media on Saturday, June 21, that the U.S. attacked three nuclear sites in Iran.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump wrote.

“All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” he continued. “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,” he concluded.

Trump, 78, plans to address the nation regarding the strikes at 10 p.m. EST on Saturday night.

Earlier this month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Israel had launched strikes against Iran, which he said were necessary to kneecap Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

“We struck at the heart of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart of Iran’s nuclear weaponization program,” Netanyahu said in a video released on June 12, according to The New York Times. “We targeted Iran’s leading nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart of Iran’s ballistic missile program.”

The U.S. attack comes after Israel and Iran have been locked in conflict for days, launching a barrage of missiles and drones.

As tensions escalated, Trump on Wednesday, June 18, avoided specifics about whether he’d use U.S. capabilities to target Iranian nuclear sites, according to The New York Times.

“I may do it,” the president said. “I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.”

“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now,” Trump posted on Truth Social on June 17. “But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
