Live: Iran holds funeral for top military, nuclear figures killed in Israeli strikes
Live Updates
No radioactive traces have been detected in the environment of Saudi Arabia or other Gulf states following the US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, Saudi Arabia's nuclear regulator said in a post on X on Sunday.
Israel has closed its airspace on Sunday morning after the US strikes on Iran, the Israeli Airport Authority announced.
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.

Hamas has condemned "blatant US aggression" against Iran, after Washington launched attacks on Iranian nuclear sites.
"The Islamic Resistance Movement condemns in the strongest terms the blatant US aggression against the territory and sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran," the group said in a statement.
"This brutal aggression is a dangerous escalation," it said, describing the attack as "a flagrant violation of international law, and a direct threat to international peace and security".
President Donald Trump made brief remarks a short while ago at the White House, after the US carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
You can read his full speech below:
"A short time ago the US military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan.
"Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.
"Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror.
"Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.
"Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.
"Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.
"For 40 years, Iran has been saying, 'Death to America, Death to Israel.'
"They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs, with roadside bombs. That was their specialty, we lost over 1,000 people.
"And hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate, in particular, so many were killed by their general Qassem Soleimani.
"I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue.
"I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.
"I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done.
"And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.
"Hopefully we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that's so.
"I also want to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan 'Razin' Caine, spectacular general, and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.
"With all of that being said, this cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.
"Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal.
"But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes.
"There's no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close. There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago.
"Tomorrow, General Caine, Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, will have a press conference at 8 am at the Pentagon.
"And I want to just thank everybody, and in particular, God. I want to just say we love you, God, and we love our great military, protect them.
"God bless the Middle East, God bless Israel, and God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you."
Iranian authorities have said there was "no danger" to residents in the city of Qom, south of Tehran, following a US attack on the nearby mountain-buried nuclear enrichment site known as Fordow.
"There is no danger to the people of Qom and the surrounding area", said the province's crisis management department, according to the official Irna news agency.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised what he called a "bold decision" by President Donald Trump to bomb Iran's nuclear sites, saying it would "change history."
"History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime, the world's most dangerous weapons," Netanyahu said in a speech.
Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation said on Sunday that it would not allow the development of its "national industry" to be stopped - a likely reference to its nuclear development.
The organisation confirmed that Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan were struck, describing the attacks as a violation of international law and of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Antonio Guterres, the UN secretary-general, has labelled the US strikes on Iran a "dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge - and a direct threat to international peace and security."
"There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world," Guterres said in a statement.
"At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos. There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace."
US President Donald Trump has said that Iran must now make peace or "we will go after" other targets in the country, hours after he announced the targeting of Iranian nuclear sites.
He said in a televised address at the White House that Iran's nuclear facilities had been "obliterated".
"There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days," Trump added, warning of further precision strikes.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the prominent Democratic lawmaker, has strongly condemned Donald Trump's decision to attack Iran.
"The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers," she wrote on X.
"He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."

Trump is expected to say in his address that he is not currently planning additional strikes on Iran, multiple senior White House officials have told NBC News.
The officials said Trump hoped the attacks would propel Tehran back to negotiations and press Iranian leaders into an agreement.
Israeli authorities have raised the country's alert level following the US strikes on Iran.
Public safety restrictions have been raised to "essential activity", the military announced in a statement.
"It was decided to shift all areas of the country from Partial and Limited Activity to Essential Activity," including "a prohibition on educational activities, gatherings, and workplaces, except for essential sectors", the military said.
President Donald Trump spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the US military launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, a senior White House official told AFP.
The United States also "gave Israel a heads-up before the strikes," the official told AFP, on condition of anonymity.
