US strikes Iran live updates: US could not reach Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for last minute nuclear deal before airstrikes: report

President Trump has launched the United States into the spiraling Israel-Iran war, ordering strikes on the latter Middle Eastern country in the middle of the night Saturday in an attempt to crush its nuclear program.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump announced on Truth Social just before 8 p.m. ET, 3:30 a.m. Iran time.

The president’s move to get the US involved in Israel’s military operations — now in their second week after large-scale airstrikes on June 13 took out 20 of Iran’s senior military leaders — comes just days after Iran warned that a US strike would trigger an “all-out war.”

President Trump suggested that there should be a regime change in Iran, less than two hours after US officials said the strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were not a preamble to shift Tehran’s leadership.

"It’s not politically correct to use the term, “Regime Change,” but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!" Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday evening.

The post came after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insisted that a regime change was not America’s goal in entering the Israel-Iran conflict.

"This mission was not and has not been about regime change," Hegseth told reporters at the Pentagon earlier on Sunday.

Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio also reiterated that diplomacy was still the goal and that the US was not at war with Iran itself, only its nuclear program.

In an earlier Truth Social post, the president boasted about the "monumental" barrage.

"The damage to the Nuclear sites in Iran is said to be 'monumental.' The hits were hard and accurate."

Just imagine some young skull full of mush, living in a remote area. The first time they set eyes on a photo or video of the B-2.

They will tell their friends that Batman attacked.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wasn’t logged in.

Wow. This piece took 7 people to write it. I think that’s a record.

For the record, Trump did try to FaceTime him on the iPad of the Ayatollah’s grandson.

You're probably right. Sad how low this always tawdry profession has sunk.
