WASHINGTON (Kashmir English): US President Donald Trump has said the US has completed air strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordo, Natanz and Esfahan.
“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 wrote on Truth Social.
Trump further said that a “full payload of bombs” were dropped on Fordo and that all planes were on their way back to the US.
It is to mention here that US B-2 bombers were involved in US strikes on Iran.
US B-2 stealth bombers had reportedly been moved to the US island territory of Guam, prompting speculation that the aircraft could be used in a US strike on Iran.
Iran’s Fordo uranium enrichment site
Fordo uranium enrichment site is situated about 60 miles (96km) south of the capital Tehran. The uranium enrichment facility is located in a mountainous region close to the city of Qom.
The underground facility was believed to consist of two main tunnels that house centrifuges used to enrich uranium, as well as a network of smaller tunnels.
Israel had been appealing to the US for intervention as the US is the only military with the capability to destroy it.
