[Source/Observer Network, Xiong Chaoyan] On the evening of June 21st local time, former U.S. President Trump posted on social media that the United States had attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran and successfully completed the operation.
According to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) of Iran, which reported early on June 22nd local time, citing a statement from an official at the country's public broadcasting company: "There are no substances causing radiation at these three nuclear facilities." Al Jazeera reported that this comment implies that Iran may have already removed enriched uranium from these facilities before they were bombed.
In addition, according to reports by Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency, the news director of Iran's state television (IRIB) stated that Iran had already evacuated personnel from the three Iranian nuclear facilities targeted by the U.S. side.

Previously, Trump wrote on social media: "We have very successfully attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. All aircraft are now outside Iranian airspace. Bombs with full yield fell on the main facility, Fordow. All aircraft are safely on their way back. Congratulations to our great American warriors. No other army in the world can do this. Now it is time for peace! Thank you for your attention to this matter."
American news network CNN and Reuters subsequently cited messages from U.S. officials saying that B-2 bombers participated in the attack on these three Iranian nuclear facilities mentioned by Trump. According to Fox News, six penetrating bombs were dropped during the attack on Iran's Fordow nuclear facility.
CNN quoted Iran's Fars News Agency as reporting that residents in Qom Province, located over 100 kilometers south of Tehran, heard several explosions outside the city. It was reported that the Fordow nuclear facility is located near Qom, built deep in the mountains.
At midnight local time on June 22nd, Heidari, spokesperson for the Crisis Management Headquarters of Qom Province in Iran, said that part of the Fordow nuclear facility was attacked after the provincial air defense system identified enemy targets and activated earlier.
