As the Israel-Iran conflict rages on, the United States has now joined in on strikes against Iran and targted three nuclear sites. This move comes after the US moved several B-2 stealth bomber jets to Guam. US president Donald Trump confirmed the strikes on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites
Donald Trump announced on Saturday that the US had completed strikes on 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 said in a post on social media. “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.”
In a second post announcing his address to the nation from the White House, Trump said that “IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR.”
Meanwhile, Israel has stated that it is prepared for the “long campaign” against Iran as it continues to launch attacks on Iranian nuclear and military sites.
The death toll from the conflict has now crossed 400 in Iran, with the Iranian health ministry reporting 430 deaths. Health officials have further stated that over 3,500 people have been injured due to Israeli strikes and attacks in the region. In Israel, authorities have reported at least 24 deaths since the escalation of the conflict last week.
The conflict between Israel and Iran escalated after Israel’s military strikes under ‘Operation Rising Lion’, which targeted Iranian nuclear and military sites. In response, Iran has launched several drone attacks against Israel and continues to do so as the conflict enters its second week.
