US President Donald Trump says American forces have conducted “very successful” strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan and that all US planes are now out of Iranian airspace.

The US leader posted on his Truth Social account that a "full payload of bombs was dropped" on the sites known to be located several dozen metres underground.

"Congratulations to our great American warriors," Trump said, adding that it is now "time for peace."

The US leader was set to meet with his national security team on Saturday evening. He previously said he would put off a decision on US involvement in the conflict for up to two weeks. 

On Saturday, multiple US B-2 bombers appeared to be airborne and heading west from the US. B-2 bombers are the only aircraft that carry the larger "bunker buster" bombs.

Aside from an on-the-ground raid or even a nuclear strike, Iran’s underground Fordo uranium enrichment facility is considered out of reach to all but American bunker-buster bombs.
