President Trump said on social media the U.S. attacked three of Iran’s nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan–hardened targets where analysts have said special U.S. munitions have the best chance of success. The president says he will address the nation at 10 p.m. ET.

Earlier today, U.S. officials said multiple B-2 stealth bombers had left their base in Missouri and were heading west over the Pacific. The bombers can carry giant “bunker busting” bombs.

Trump followed up his announcement of the strikes with a call for a return to diplomacy.
