Trump said all aircraft are now outside Iranian airspace.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: "We completed our very successful strike on three nuclear facilities in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan."

"All aircraft are now out of Iranian airspace."

"A full bomb load was dropped on the primary facility at Fordow. All aircraft are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American fighters. No other army in the world can do this. Now is the time for peace! Thank you for your interest in this matter," he wrote.

Later addressing the nation, President Trump described the strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites as "a tremendous military success."

In his first public statement since the strikes, Trump said: "Tonight, I can inform the world that the strikes were a tremendous military success. Iran’s major nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and utterly destroyed."

Trump warned that if Iran does not choose peace, the US could target additional sites and proposed a diplomatic solution following the strikes.

"The bully of the Middle East, Iran, must now make peace. If not, future strikes will be much larger and far easier."

"This cannot go on. It will be either peace or a tragedy for Iran far greater than what we’ve witnessed in the past eight days. Remember, there are more targets," he said.

He also warned that the US could strike "other targets with precision, speed, and skill," saying it could be done "within minutes."
