On Saturday evening, after Blaze News’ Rebeka Zeljko reported a press lid was called for the day at the White House, President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social that the United States had carried out a “successful attack on three nuclear sites in Iran.” The president’s post was shared by Secretary of State Marco Rubio via a post on X.”
Earlier in the day, there were multiple reports that B2 bombers had left their base in Missouri. The destination was not known. It was speculated to be Diego Garcia where the U.S. Air Force keeps bombers or Iran. With the president’s post it appears that the destination was Iran.
Trump identified the nuclear sites hit as “Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.” He further declared that “all planes are now outised of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.”
This is a developing story and Blaze News will update throughout the night.
