The US has hit three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, President Donald Trump announced on Saturday, while the conflict between Israel and Iran entered the second week. American B-2 bombers were used in the weekend operation, a source for CNN said.
The press had previously reported that the US was sending Stealth B-2 bombers on the island of Guam-the only aircraft capable of transporting the bombs needed to destroy the Iran Forto nuclear installation.
Trump hopes the blows were enough
US President Donald Trump hopes that the blows he has ordered on three Iranian nuclear sites will cause Tehran to return to negotiations and, at present, does not take into account the US actions inside Iran, while pressing his leaders to “accept to end this war,” according to CNN, according to CNN.
In recent days, Trump has come to believe that American forces are needed to eliminate extremely fortified nuclear facilities and made this decision when it seemed clear that diplomacy remained in a deadlock.
While Trump continues to nourish the hope that diplomacy will now be able to continue, the American forces in the region are prepared for Iranian reprisals, according to the quoted source.
Some Congress members were informed before
Some Congress members have been notified before the US kicks on Iran, the sources say
Several members of the Congress have been notified before the US blows of three Iranian nuclear installations, familiar sources with this issue told CNN.
Some members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, consisting of eight people, who have access to classified national security information, have also been notified, sources said.
The President of the Chamber of Representatives, Mike Johnson, was among the informed members, a source said.
Republican representative Rick Crawford, who chairs the Permanent Committee for Information of the Chamber of Representatives, said he was in contact with the White House before the attack.
“I was in contact with the White House before this action and I will continue to follow the developments with them in the coming days,” Crawford said in a statement. “I congratulate President Trump because he has taken decisive measures and I am grateful to the American military who made these precise and successful blows.”
