Live Updates: Iran Must End War Now, Says Trump As US Bombs Nuclear Sites

Israel-Iran Attacks Live Updates: The United States on Sunday carried out a "very successful attack" on three nuclear sites in Iran, President Donald Trump said late on Saturday, as his administration intervened in the conflict between the Islamic republic and Israel that escalated last week.

Iran "must now agree to end this war", Mr Trump posted on social media as the US dropped 'full payload of bombs' on Iran Fordow nuclear site. Iranian media also reported that part of Fordo nuclear site was 'attacked by enemy strikes'.

The air war began on June 13 when Israel attacked Iran, in what it said was aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons - an ambition Tehran denies. The attack raised alarms in a region that has been on edge since the start of Israel's war in Gaza in October 2023.

Israel is the only country in the Middle East widely believed to have nuclear weapons, and said it struck Iran to prevent Tehran from developing its own nuclear weapons.

Iran, which says its nuclear program is peaceful, has retaliated with its own strikes on Israel. Iran is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, while Israel is not.
