The United States has completed its successful attack on three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, the US President Donald Trump has confirmed.

He said: "A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary target, Fordow.

"All planes are now outside Iranian airspace and heading home safely.

"All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors."

Earlier six B-2 stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri were tracked heading toward a US base in Guam, according to flight data and air traffic control communications. The B-2's unique two-ton bunker buster bomb could be crucial in targeting Iran's most secure nuclear facility, reported Fox News. President Donald Trump, who has yet to decide on US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict, is expected to return to the White House Saturday afternoon.

Separately, Israel's military confirmed last night's strike on the Isfahan nuclear complex-the ninth straight night of targeted attacks on Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure-as Tehran flatly rejected any prospect of nuclear diplomacy amid the bombardment. And the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) has also claimed to have assassinated two senior Iranian military commanders.
