The president said in a social media post that U.S. warplanes had carried out a “very successful attack” on three sites, including the subterranean Fordow nuclear enrichment facility, a key target that Trump had openly deliberated striking for days.
“A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” Trump said. “All planes are safely on the way home.”
At the White House later in the evening, Trump threatened more attacks on Iran if it decides to retaliate.
“This cannot continue,” Trump said. “There will be either peace, or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last days,” he added, referring in part to attacks that Israel has carried out on Iran.

The bombing is a major escalation by President Donald Trump, tethering the United States to a conflict with no clear end in sight.
