The president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced this Saturday that the United States completed a “very successful attack” against three nuclear facilities in Iran, marking a turning point in the conflict in the Middle East, which threatens to become a large -scale war.
In this regard, the president announced through a publication in his Truth Social account: “We have completed our successful attack against the three nuclear facilities of Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahán.”
“All airplanes are now outside the Iranian airspace. A full charge of bombs on the main installation was launched, Fordow. All airplanes return healthy and saved home. Congratulations to our great American warriors. No other army in the world could have done this. Now it is the time of peace! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he added.
The three sites that were attacked this Saturday included the two main enrichment centers of Uranium of Iran: the installation in the Fordow mountain and a larger enrichment plant in Natanz, which Israel attacked several days ago with smaller weapons.
The third site, near the old city of Isfahán, is where it is believed that they will keep their enriched uranium of almost explosive degree, which the inspectors saw just two weeks ago, the New York Times explained.
The Persoa nation maintains that its nuclear program has civil purposes, but Israel considers its potential to develop a nuclear weapon a threat to its survival.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar declared that the Israeli bombing campaign had delayed two or three years of the ability to manufacture a nuclear weapon. However, Israel has not yet completely destroyed some of the most important nuclear enrichment sites, including Fordow.
Iranian president, Masoud Peeshkian, said Iran will not reduce his nuclear activities “under any circumstance”, thus rejecting an American demand, according to the Mehr news agency, affiliated with the Iranian government. Tehran, he said, is “willing to dialogue and cooperate,” but warned that he will continue with his military reprisals against Israel.
For his part, Trump said that all airplanes are now outside the Iranian airspace.
