US attacked three Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says, joining Israeli air campaign as Tehran promises to retaliate.

President Donald Trump said Saturday the US military has carried out a "very successful attack" on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordow.

"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

"A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow," he said, adding that the planes were safely out of Iranian airspace and on the way home.

Trump added that "all planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors."

Trump's announcement came just two days after he said he would decide "within two weeks" whether to join key ally Israel in attacking Iran.
