Addressing the nation, US President Donald Trump says the US military carried out “massive precision strikes” on Iran’s Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites.

“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,” Trump says.

“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,” Trump continues.
