Investing.com -- The United States bombed three Iranian nuclear sites Saturday evening, U.S. time, President Donald Trump announced.

The U.S. dropped six bunker buster bombs on the Fordow nuclear site in Iran and fired Tomahawk missiles from U.S. submarines 400 miles away to destroy the Natanz and Esfahan nuclear sites.

Trump called the strikes “very successful”, saying the mission "completely and totally obliterated" the nuclear capability of Iran.

"Now is the time for peace", Trump said in a 10 PM ET address to the nation.  However, if Iran does not agree to peace, Trump said it will mean "tragedy" for the country he called the "state sponsor of terrorism around the globe."

Trump said the U.S. is prepared to go after other targets "very quickly and with precision" if the Iranian government doesn’t agree to peace.

The President added that all U.S. planes used in the attack "are safely on their way home" and thanked Israel for its cooperation in the operation.

Trump congratulated the American warriors, "[t]here is not another military in the World that could have done this," he finished.
