President Trump addressed the nation at 2200ET and said that with “massive precision strikes”, Iran’s nuclear facilities have “been completely and totally obliterated” in a “spectacular military success.”

He warned Iran (“the bully of the Middle East”) that if they do not come to peace then there are many other targets:

“There will be either peace; or tragedy for Iran worse than the likes of which we have seen over the last eight days.”

“If peace does not come quickly,” we will go after the rest of the nation with “speed and skill.”

He ended the speech by saying “God bless The Middle East, Gold bless Israel, and God bless The United States.”

Update (2133ET): 

Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin revealed that the B-2 bombers spotted heading to Guam were part of a calculated deception to draw attention westward:

“It’s notable how much deception was involved in this operation. All eyes were looking west towards Guam.” 

“The 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs were dropped at Fordo. And as we have reported, there are two entrances to Fordo.” 

“At least two bombs at each, two entrances, which suggests at least two B-2s were involved over Fordow. My suspicion is that there were more.”

Sean Hannity revealed he spoke directly with President Trump, who confirmed the scope of the U.S. strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility:

• Six “bunker buster” bombs were dropped by multiple B-2 stealth bombers.
• Thirty Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from U.S. submarines positioned approximately 400 miles away.

Hannity added, “Everyone is out of harm’s way for now.”

Update (2005ET): 

Hours after U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bombers departed Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri en route to the Indo-Pacific region, President Trump announced that U.S. forces had “successfully attacked” three nuclear sites in Iran—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

The president wrote on his Truth Social:

We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space.

A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.

Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

There has been no confirmation from President Trump regarding what type of USAF bombers conducted the strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. However, based on timing and strategic capability, it is plausible that B-2 Spirit stealth bombers—previously observed departing Whiteman Air Force Base—were involved in the operation.

Martin comments: Iran has warned about some terrible retaliation should the US jump into the fight (openly). Rhetoric or a hidden hand about to jump in? REMEMBER: behind Iran is the CCP and Russia. Both have recently given subtle warnings to the US not to escalate the Mid-East conflict.

So, does the bombing constitute escalation or de-escalation? The US walks a precarious line.
