Trump says damage to Iran's nuclear sites is 'far below ground level'

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."

"IAEA will provide further assessments on [the] situation in Iran as more information becomes available," the agency said in a post to X.

Mohammad Reza Kardan, the deputy director of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, said no radiation had been observed outside the facilities, attributing this to advance safety planning. He condemned the attacks as a "criminal act" and a first in global history, warning of violations of international law.

Iranian officials said residents near the sites remain safe and are continuing their lives "without worry" despite the strikes.
