The Pentagon will provide an informative session on US air attacks in Iran on Sunday morning, after President Trump took direct measures for the first time in the growing conflict between Israel and Iran.
Trump declared that strikes in three separate nuclear sites are a “spectacular military success.”
“Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely erased,” he said in a White House direction on Saturday night. “Iran, the thug of the Middle East, now must make peace. If they don’t, future attacks will be much older and much easier.”

The OPS Center of the Army notified the leaders of the major army at the same time. It is not clear when high-level republican leadership was reported, although the sources familiar with communications told NPR that the leader of the majority of the Senate John Thune, RS.D., and the president of the House of Representatives, Johnson, R-La.
“The president gave all the led to the leader of Iran to reach an agreement, but Iran refused to commit to a nuclear disarmament agreement,” Johnson said in a statement on Saturday night. “President Trump has been consistent and of course that an Iran armed with nuclear weapons is not tolerated. That position has now enforced strength, precision and clarity.”

“The American people deserve more than a vague rhetoric and unilateral decisions that could trigger a broader war,” Warner said in a statement. “The president must come before the Congress to articulate Clatérez objectives and establish how he plans to protect American life and make sure he does not attract us once in an expensive, unnecessary and avoidable congress.”
In his announcement of air attacks on his social platform of Truth, Trump also declared: “Now is the moment of peace!” and threatened Iran against any retaliation.
