From businessinsider.comUS military aircraft have struck three Iranian nuclear sites, including the heavily protected Fordow site, President Donald Trump said early Sunday morning local time.
"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan," Trump revealed in a Truth Social post. "All planes are now outside of Iran air space," he said.
The direct attack on Iran marks a major escalation and takes US involvement in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel to a new level. Trump has been weighing whether to strike Iran for several days.
The strikes notably risk Iranian retaliatory attacks that could harm US forces in the region, which Tehran has already threatened.
The president said a "full payload" of bombs was dropped on Fordow, one of Iran's main nuclear enrichment facilities. Trump described it as "the primary site." Fordow is heavily fortified, with its key facilities deep underground in a mountain.

Re: It Has Begun
I knew this asshole was going to do this.
1) Now he just turned the Iranian citizenry more "patriotic" to their Ayatoilet regime. They are waving flags now.
2) Now China has to protect one of their major oil suppliers and since the U.S. got directly involved, so will they.
3) Now that America is involved, there will be a lot more Islamists screaming bloody Jihad against the West and some of them will pull off successful attacks.
There will NEVER be peace in the Middle East with America always interfering. This is going to escalate beyond the Middle East and the current conflict, because of Donald Trump, too. This could even be the prelude to a multi nation war. He wants that chaos though, so "only he" can protect America The Great and he can usurp more authoritarian power.
