His comments came shortly after Trump confirmed that U.S. aircraft—believed to be B-2 bombers—carried out strikes on Iran’s major nuclear sites located in Natanz, Esfahan, and Fordow.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Washington had carried out a “very successful attack” on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities—Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow.

"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter," he added.

The U.S. military action follows over a week of aerial clashes between Iran and Israel, which have resulted in casualties on both sides.

According to a senior Israeli official cited by Axios, the United States used six B-2 stealth bombers in the operation. The source also noted that Israel was informed in advance of the planned strikes by the Trump administration.
