As a result, Iran's largest uranium enrichment plants were completely destroyed, Trump claims.
The US dropped six penetrating bombs on the Fordow nuclear facility. Thirty Tomahawk missiles were also launched at nuclear facilities in Natan and Isfahan.
Fox News reports this.
Before the attack, the US contacted Iran to convey that they were planning only strikes and were not pursuing the goal of changing the government in Tehran.
Authorities in Iran's Qom province confirmed the US Air Force's attack on the Fordow nuclear facility. They did not specify the extent of the destruction. However, they noted that no nuclear leak was expected. Stockpiles of enriched uranium were evacuated during the attack.
During the broadcast, an Iranian state television anchor said: “Mr. Trump, you started this — we will finish it.” Also broadcast live was an extensive infographic of American bases in the Middle East, under the headline: “Within firing range of Iran.”
It was stated that the United States had no legal basis for being present in the region.
