President Donald Trump confirmed Saturday that the United States executed precision airstrikes against three nuclear installations in Iran, intensifying the volatile conflict between Iran and Israel now entering its second week. The targeted facilities include the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan sites, described by Trump as "successfully" hit during the operation.
A senior source disclosed to CNN that American B-2 stealth bombers spearheaded the weekend mission. The President further announced plans to address the nation at 10 p.m. ET from the White House regarding the military action.
Escalating Regional Hostilities
The decision followed days of deliberation amid rising violence. Earlier Saturday, Israel claimed responsibility for eliminating two commanders of Iran’s elite Quds Force and conducting strikes on multiple Iranian military targets. Concurrently, Israeli defenses intercepted two Iranian drones that breached the country’s airspace—an uncommon security lapse.
These developments mark a significant escalation in the protracted confrontation, drawing direct U.S. military involvement against Iranian nuclear infrastructure for the first time in the current conflict cycle.
