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."
Trump said the objective of the "massive precision strikes" on the Iranian nuclear sites was to destroy Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity.
"Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated," he said.
Trump has begun his address on the U.S. strikes in Iran. He is speaking from the White House.
He is joined by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
In his first remarks on the U.S. strikes on Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the action.
"President Trump denied the world's most dangerous regime the world's most dangerous weapon," he said in a video statement.
Netanyahu said it is "peace through strength."
In response to the U.S. strikes, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Trump "misled the country about his intentions" and did not seek Congressional approval.
"Donald Trump promised to bring peace to the Middle East. He has failed to deliver on that promise," Jeffries said in a statement. "The risk of war has now dramatically increased, and I pray for the safety of our troops in the region who have been put in harm’s way."
