Follow live as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth speaks from the Pentagon after President Donald Trump ordered the bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday.

The U.S. military “totally obliterated” the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities, according to Trump, who announced the strikes on Truth Social and called for peace, later adding that Iran “must now agree to end” the conflict, which began with Israeli strikes against Iran over a week ago.
