Iran`s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps wrote on social media, "Now the war has begun for us," following US President Donald Trump`s confirmation of US airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites early Sunday morning.
Additionally, a commentator on Iranian state television stated that every American civilian or military personnel in the region became a legitimate target.
Iranian national television confirmed that three nuclear facilities have been evacuated, and an Iranian official cited by Tasnim News Agency confirmed that part of the Fordow nuclear site was attacked by `enemy airstrikes.`
"Iran had been expecting attacks on Fordow for several nights. Fordow was evacuated long ago and did not sustain irreversible damage," an adviser said to the speaker of the Iranian parliament.
"Two things are certain: Knowledge cannot be bombed, and the gambler will definitely lose this time."
This comes after the US conducted airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, namely Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, which US President Donald Trump confirmed on Truth Social on Saturday night.
"All planes are now outside of Iran`s airspace. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home," Trump wrote.
"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this," he added.
