Trump says damage to Iran's nuclear sites is 'far below ground level'

Trump said the U.S. attacked three nuclear sites in Iran.

The United States struck three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday, President Donald Trump announced.

B-2 bombers dropped a number of Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs -- known as "bunker busters" -- during the U.S. mission over Iran, a U.S. official confirmed.

A number of Tomahawk cruise missiles were also fired at targets inside Iran from a U.S. Navy submarine, the official confirmed.

Following the strikes, Trump addressed the nation, calling it a "spectacular military success."

In a post to Truth Social in the early hours of Tuesday, Trump said Macron was "publicity seeking" and "wrong."

"He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire," Trump wrote.

"Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!"

"I think the announcements made by President Trump are very positive and the role that the United States of America will have to play is key," Macron said. "The French alongside them, the British and the Germans are available to resume serious discussions, discussions that we have never stopped," he added.

The French president's comments came after Trump abruptly left the summit, citing escalating tensions in the Middle East.
