Trump said the U.S. attacked three nuclear sites in Iran.
The United States struck three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday, President Donald Trump announced.
B-2 bombers dropped a number of Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs -- known as "bunker busters" -- during the U.S. mission over Iran, a U.S. official confirmed.
A number of Tomahawk cruise missiles were also fired at targets inside Iran from a U.S. Navy submarine, the official confirmed.
Following the strikes, Trump addressed the nation, calling it a "spectacular military success."
The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization confirmed the strikes on the nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, condemning the attack as a "heinous act in contradiction with the international law."
The U.S. and Israel had practiced this attack in a military exercise about a year ago, a source in Israel with direct knowledge of the matter confirmed to ABC News.
That exercise was unprecedented because it war-gamed offensive actions against Iranian nuclear capabilities for the first time, according to the source.
This was first planned under the Biden administration, according to the source, who said, "But we did not think a year ago that this would happen now."
