In a post on his Truth Social account early Sunday morning local time, Trump said, 'We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.'
He added, 'There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!' The president is expected to deliver a televised address at 10pm ET.
The strikes signal a major shift in US policy, as Trump has now committed American military power to support Israel's ongoing operations against Iran. The Israeli government had already spent more than a week targeting Iran's air defences and missile systems before the US joined in.

The White House confirmed that Israel was informed in advance of the US attack.
A US official told Reuters that B-2 stealth bombers were used to hit the targets. These bombers are capable of carrying 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs, making them suitable for deep underground sites like Fordow.
Although Trump had earlier said he would decide within two weeks whether to act, preparations for military action intensified over the weekend. According to NBC News, he is not currently planning additional strikes inside Iran.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei had also warned that it would be bad if the US got involved in the conflict with Israel.

'What a weirdo… Creepy for an old man like James Comey to be a drooling fanboy of a young girl like Taylor Swift (yes, she was 19 or 20 when Comey went to his 'first' TayTay concert when he was 50),' a third person said. 'Please tell me this is AI,' one more commented, while the fifth person stated, 'AI? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE AI.
