Here’s a recap of other key lines from the US president overnight:
In his initial announcement, President Trump called the strikes a “spectacular military success”.
He called Iran the “bully of the Middle East”, saying the Iranian leadership “must now make peace”.
The US president warned there would be “future attacks” which would “be far greater” if Iran did not make peace.
In a later phone interview, Trump said Iran “should make peace immediately… otherwise they’ll get hit again”.
Donald Trump had told the American people in a televised address last night that Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities have been “completely and totally obliterated” by US strikes.
The attacks targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
Six 30,000lb bunker buster bombs were dropped from B-2 stealth bombers in the strikes, Donald Trump told Fox News. The New York Times later reported 12 bunker buster bombs were used on the Fordow site alone (see previous post).
The B-2 stealth bombers that struck Iran flew non-stop for 37 hours from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri before striking hitting Iran’s nuclear sites with their bunker-buster bombs
