Trump says US 'obliterated' three Iranian nuclear sites, threatens more attacks

President Donald Trump said US air strikes had "completely and totally obliterated" three Iranian nuclear sites, as Washington directly joined Israel's days-long assault on Iran.

In a televised address on Saturday night at the White House, Trump said the attacks had been a "spectacular military success". 

Earlier in the evening, he took to social media to announce that strikes had taken place on Iran's Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan sites.

"All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!" he wrote on Truth Social. 

During the televised address, the president warned that if Iran did not make peace, the US would go after further targets. 

"There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days," he said.
