Houthis vow to resume attacks on US ships after Iran attack

The NASA fire information system detected a significant heat-generating event near the Fordow nuclear facility, The New York Times reported.

"One detection was about 30 minutes before President Trump announced the US strikes."

Areas that experience bombing or generate intense heat—such as from prolonged fires—are often detectable. Satellite sensors can also register events like wildfires or industrial operations. However, no such activity has been observed near Fordow in the past month, the report said.

"Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror," US President Donald Trump said in his speech at the White House.

"Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."

"Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier," Trump added.

"If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill, most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes."

"I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we have gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel," Trump continued.

"God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel and God bless you, America. Thank you very much."

"Congratulations, President Trump. Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome might of the United States will change history. In Operation Rising Line, Israel has done truly amazing things," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.

"But in tonight's action against Iran's nuclear facilities, America has been truly unsurpassed. It has done what no other country on earth could do. History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime the world's most dangerous weapons," he added.

"His leadership today has created a pivot of history that can help lead the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity and peace. President Trump and I often say, peace through strength. First comes strength, then comes peace."
