Trump says U.S. attacked 3 Iranian nuclear sites
U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday that the United States has completed attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran, including "Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan."
"All planes are now outside of Iran airspace. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow," he said on the social platform Truth Social.
Tehran must agree to "end this war," Trump wrote on Truth Social after the strikes.
Iran's state-run IRNA news agency acknowledged attacks on the country's nuclear facilities.
Tehran says "reserves all options" to retaliate against U.S. attacks
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday the U.S. attacks on the country's three nuclear facilities indicated that the United States is the "main factor" behind Israel's hostile actions against Iran.
Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Pezeshkian strongly condemned the U.S. attack on Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan nuclear facilities on Saturday, according to a statement published on the website of his office.
He added the Iranian armed forces' "powerful" attacks against Israel Sunday morning were a response to "aggressive" U.S. policies.
Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said in response to "such aggressions and crimes," Iran would continue its "precise, targeted and formidable" strikes against Israel's infrastructure, strategic centers and interests.
Damage to Iran's nuclear facility unclear, no off-site radiation increase
The extent of damage to Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment facility by U.S. aerial attacks was not immediately possible to assess, the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog said on Sunday.
Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), confirmed in a statement that the Iranian nuclear sites of Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan have been hit.
"It is clear that Fordow was also directly impacted, but the degree of damage inside the uranium enrichment halls can't be determined with certainty," he said, adding that the IAEA has been informed by the Iranian regulatory authorities that there has been no increase in off-site radiation levels after the attacks.
Sirens sound in Israel as Iran launches new wave of missiles
Sirens sounded across central, northern Israel and Israel-controlled Jerusalem as Iran launched a new wave of ballistic missiles.
Israelis in affected areas were instructed to remain in bomb shelters.
It marked the first Iranian ballistic missile strike on Israel in over a day -- and the first since the United States attacked Iran's three nuclear facilities.
Israel closed its airspace in an apparent precautionary measure following the U.S. strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, the Israel Airports Authority announced earlier.
Israel says it struck military targets in western Iran, near Tehran
Israel's military said on Sunday it carried out a wave of air strikes against military sites in western Iran and the capital Tehran, targeting infrastructure critical to Iran's missile and intelligence-gathering capabilities.
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said approximately 20 fighter jets struck multiple targets using over 30 munitions. The intelligence-based operation focused on the provinces of Kermanshah and Hamedan in western Iran.
The targets included storage facilities, missile launching infrastructure, satellites, and military radar sites, the IDF said. Additionally, a surface-to-air missile launcher was hit in the vicinity of Tehran.
Iranian state television acknowledged explosions east of the capital, noting the area contains several military installations, including the sensitive Parchin military complex.■
