Israel-Iran conflict LIVE: U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday (June 22, 2025) that the United States has carried out a “very successful attack” on three Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordo, Natanz, and Esfahan—including the underground uranium enrichment site at Fordo. The surprise statement came just two days after Trump said he had opened a two-week window for diplomatic talks.

He addressed the nation at 0200 GMT (7:30 a.m. IST), following the U.S. decision to join Israel’s military campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Trump said, “Tonight I can report to the world, the strikes were a spectacular military success.”

The escalation comes amid ongoing hostilities between Israel and Iran, now over a week into open conflict. On Friday (June 20), the two sides exchanged fresh strikes as European foreign ministers held urgent talks with Iran’s top diplomat in Geneva to try and defuse the situation. However, the four-hour meeting between Western and Iranian officials ended without any breakthrough.
