In a televised address on Saturday night, U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced that American forces, in coordination with Israel, had conducted precision strikes on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, aiming to dismantle Tehran’s enrichment capabilities.
The President stated that the objective of the mission was to disable Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity, which U.S. and Israeli officials have long viewed as a potential proliferation risk. The Iranian government has not yet issued an official response to the reported strikes.
Targets: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan
“These names have been known for years,” Trump said, referring to the targeted sites. “Tonight, those nuclear enrichment facilities were struck with precision.”
The President said the operation was a military success and claimed that the targeted facilities had been “completely and totally obliterated.” The mission reportedly involved advanced aircraft and military assets, though specific operational details remain classified.
Regional security and strategic messaging
President Trump framed the strikes as part of a broader strategy to deter further escalation in the Middle East. He also reiterated longstanding U.S. concerns regarding Iran’s regional activities and support for armed groups.
“This cannot continue,” he said, warning that further action would follow if there was no de-escalation. “There will be either peace or continued military response.”
Iranian authorities have not yet commented on the scale of the reported damage or the broader implications of the operation. Independent verification from international inspectors or third-party sources is not yet available.
Cooperation with Israel
Trump praised close coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and acknowledged the Israeli military’s involvement. “We worked as a team,” he noted, emphasising the bilateral alignment in the lead-up to the operation.
The President also thanked American military personnel, including General Dan “Razin” Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who are expected to address the media at a Pentagon briefing scheduled for 8 a.m. on Sunday.
