President Donald Trump is set to address the nation following a purportedly successful attack on three nuclear sites in Iran, including the critical Fordo underground facility. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, confirmed the bombing of the sites and assured the safe return of all involved aircraft. The escalation of conflict traces back to Israel’s airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military installations, with a focus on hindering Iran’s nuclear weapon development through uranium enrichment facilities. After a series of aerial strikes between the two nations, Trump had deliberated over potential U.S. intervention in the past week. Significantly, Trump’s message concluded with a call for peace amid the heightened tensions.

The Republican leader’s televised address is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET in the Oval Office.
