The US military dropped six “bunker buster” bombs on Iran’s Fordow nuclear enrichment plant Saturday night — with President Trump declaring the facility hidden beneath a mountain “is gone.”
Trump announced the airstrikes days after Israel initiated extensive attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and military.
“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,” Trump posted on Truth Social just before 8 p.m. Saturday — marking the first-ever US strike on Iranian territory.

US strike on Iran is loaded with risks for Trump
“Two weeks” turned out to be two days.
On Thursday Donald Trump gave the Iranians a deadline if they wanted to avoid a US strike on their nuclear facilities, but that deadline turned out to be much shorter than expected.
Two days later, the US president announced on Saturday evening that US warplanes had bombed three nuclear sites, in an attack he said was “very successful”.
