US President Donald Trump is seen seated at the helm of the Situation Room table on Sunday.
Trump addressed the nation from the White House. Calling the strike a “very successful attack,” he warned Tehran to choose “peace or tragedy”.
Among those present were Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and National Security Advisor Marco Rubio.
Officials were shown real-time footage as six B-2 bombers dropped bunker-buster bombs on the heavily fortified Fordow nuclear site. Simultaneously, 30 Tomahawk missiles targeted Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz and Esfahan.
The strikes followed a week of deadly crossfire between Israel and Iran. While Israel argues it’s thwarting a nuclear threat, Iran maintains its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went live, praising Trump for his swift and coordinated action. (All Images: X/@WhiteHouse)
