U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. 'completely and fully obliterated' Iranian nuclear sites.

Addressing the nation from the White House, President Donald Trump claimed Iran's key nuclear sites were "completely and fully obliterated."

Iran's nuclear agency confirmed that attacks hit its Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz atomic sites but insisted that its work will not be stopped.

Iran said there were "no signs of contamination" at its nuclear sites after U.S. airstrikes targeted the facilities.

"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan," Trump said in a post on social media.

Hannity said 30 Tomahawk missiles fired by U.S. submarines 400 miles (644 kilometres) away struck the Iranian nuclear sites of Natanz and Isfahan.

The Israelis say their offensive has already crippled Iran's air defences, allowing them to significantly degrade multiple Iranian nuclear sites. »
