The US has just bombed three nuclear sites in Iran in a risky move that might spark a bigger regional conflict.

President Trump tonight hailed the very successful attack on the key Fordow bunker, Natanz, and Esfahan sites.

According to reports from local media outlets, the planes had dropped a full payload of bombs that are now leaving the airspace in Iran.

The news has left many around the world stunned as they had not anticipated such a bold move from the US, as the president was supposed to make his decision regarding whether or not America would attack Iran in the next 14 days. But it seems like Trump had made up his mind very quickly.

American forces had declared the attack a very successful one on the three nuclear sites, and it was now evident that the aircraft were no longer in Iranian airspace at this moment in time.

A full payload of bombs was dropped on the main site, which is called Fordow. All planes were on their way home safely now.

The President will be addressing the nation at 10 pm Eastern Time, calling this moment a historic one for the United States of America.
