Tel Aviv, Israel (AP) – The US military struck three sites in Iran early on Sunday, and joins the Israel War, which aims to cut off the country’s nuclear program in a dangerous maneuver to weaken a long enemy amid Tehran’s threat to revenge that may raise a broader regional conflict.
President Donald Trump was the first to reveal strikes. There was no immediate recognition by the Iranian government. The Iranian -run Iranian news agency reported that the attacks targeted Fordo sites, Asfahan and Natanz’s nuclear in the country. The agency did not explain.
President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the US military struck three sites in Iran, as it joined Israel’s efforts to behead the country’s nuclear program in a risky maneuver to weaken a long enemy amid Tehran’s threat to retaliation that may raise a wider regional conflict.
The decision to involve the United States comes directly in the war after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran, which aims to systematically eliminate air defenses in the country and offensive missile capabilities, while destroying nuclear enrichment facilities. But American and Israeli officials said that the Buster Bomb and the Buster bomb, which has an area of 30,000 pounds (13,500 kg), which they can carry alone provides the best opportunity to destroy the sites that are strongly fortified with the Iranian nuclear program buried under the ground.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordo, Natanz and Asphan,” Trump said on a social media position. “All aircraft are now outside the Iranian air area. A full load of bombs has been dropped on the basic location, Fordo. All aircraft are safe on their way home.”
“This is a historic moment for the United States of America, Israel and the world. Iran must now agree to end this war. Thank you!”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s decision to attack in a video message addressed to the American President.
“Your bold decision to target Iranian nuclear facilities, with the wonderful and righteous power of the United States, will change history,” he said. Netanyahu said that the United States “did what no other country on earth could do.”
The White House and the Pentagon immediately did not explain the operation. But the Fox News of Sean Hanity said shortly after 9 pm in the east that he had spoken to Trump and that six posters had been used in the Fordo facility. Hanity said that 30 Tomahawk missiles launched by American submarines 400 miles hit Iranian nuclear sites in Natanz and Safhan.
The strikes are a risky decision, as Iran has pledged revenge if the United States joins the Israeli attack, and for Trump personally. He won the White House for the promise to keep America outside the costly foreign conflicts and mocked the value of the American intervention.
Trump told reporters on Friday that he was not interested in sending ground forces to Iran, saying it was “the last thing you want to do.” He previously indicated that he would choose a final option for two weeks.
The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khouna, USA, warned on Wednesday that the strikes targeting the Islamic Republic “will lead to unorganized damage.” “Any American intervention will be a recipe for a comprehensive war in the region.”
Trump pledged that he would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, and he initially hoped that the threat of power would bring the country’s leaders to give up its nuclear program in peace.
The Israeli army said on Saturday that it was preparing for a long war, while the Iranian Foreign Minister warned before the American attack that US military participation “would be very dangerous for everyone.”
The possibility of a wider war looming on the horizon. The Iranian -backed Houthi rebels in Yemen said that they would resume attacks on American ships in the Red Sea if the Trump administration joins Israel’s military campaign. The Houthis stopped such attacks in May, according to a deal with the United States
The American ambassador to Israel announced that the United States had started “departure flights with help”, the first from Israel since the Hamas -led attack on October 7, 2023, which sparked the war in Gaza.
White House journalist Caroline Levitte said on Thursday that Trump intends to make his decision on strikes within two weeks. Instead, hit only two days later.
Trump appears to have achieved the account – in urging Israeli officials and many Republican legislators – that the Israeli process has eased the land and provided an unparalleled opportunity to restore the Iranian nuclear program, perhaps permanently.
The Israelis say that their attack has already paralyzed Iranian air defenses, allowing them to reduce multiple Iranian nuclear sites already.
But to destroy the Fordo Fuel Future Future Fuel Station, Israel appealed to Trump for the American bomb that deceives the bunker known as GBU-57, which uses its weight and absolute kinetic power to reach targets buried deeply and then explode. The bomb is currently being delivered only by the B-2 Stealth Bomber, which is found only in the American arsenal.
If it is published in the attack, that will be the first combat use of the weapon.
The bomb carries a traditional warhead, and it is believed that it is able to penetrate about 200 feet (61 meters) below the surface before the explosion, and the bombs can be dropped one by one, as it turns effectively deeper and deeper with each consecutive explosion.
The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that Iran produces highly enriched uranium in Fordo, which provokes the possibility of launching nuclear materials in the region if GBU-57 A/B is used to strike the facility.
The International Agency for the International Agency said that the previous Israeli strikes on another Iranian nuclear site, Natanz, at a central expulsion site, had not caused pollution except on the same site, not the surrounding area.
Trump’s decision to direct US military intervention comes after his administration has implemented an unsuccessful for two months – including direct negotiations and direct negotiations with the Iranians – aimed at persuading Tehran to limit its nuclear program.
For several months, Trump said he was devoted to a diplomatic payment to persuade Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions. Netanyahu was persuaded twice – in April and again in late May – to stop military action against Iran and give diplomacy more time.
In recent days, the United States has turned military aircraft and warships into the Middle East and around them to protect the bases of Israel and the United States from Iranian attacks.
All the time, Trump has moved publicly from the hope that the moment would be a “second chance” for Iran to conclude a deal to deliver clear threats to my raw and make calls to the unconditional surrender of Tehran.
“We know exactly where the so -called” Supreme Leader “is hiding,” Trump said in a post on social media. “It is an easy goal, but it is safe there – we will not take it out (killing!), At least not at the present time.”
The military confrontation with Iran comes seven years after Trump withdrew the United States from the Obama Medium Management Agreement in 2018, describing it as “the worst deal ever.”
The deal for the year 2015, which was signed by Iran, the United States and other global authorities, established a comprehensive nuclear agreement in the long run limited to enriching Tehran in uranium in exchange for lifting economic sanctions.
Trump criticized Obama’s reign to give Iran more too much, because the agreement did not cover Iran’s non -nuclear behavior.
Trump was criticized by some of the Maga believers, including conservative critics Taker Karlson, who suggested that our involvement in the United States would be a betrayal of supporters who attracted his promise to end the participation of the United States in expensive and inexpensive wars.
