Washington, D.C.: U.S. President Donald Trump announced on social media that American forces have carried out what he described as “very successful” airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated: “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.”

He further claimed that a “full payload of BOMBS” was dropped on Fordow, the primary target, and asserted that all American aircraft involved in the operation have returned safely. “Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this,” he wrote.

Concluding his message, Trump added, “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Doha (PTI): Around 1,600 Indian nationals travelled to India on five Qatar Airways flights on Tuesday, even as the airline continues to operate limited services due to restrictions on Qatar's airspace, the Indian Embassy here said.

The flights included two services to Delhi and one each to Mumbai, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram, the embassy said in a social media post.

"In total, about 1600 Indian nationals travelled on Qatar Airways flights today," it said.

The mission noted that Qatar's airspace remains largely closed and Qatar Airways is currently operating only limited, non-scheduled flights.

The airline has announced services to nine Indian destinations starting Wednesday, and passengers can make bookings through the Qatar Airways website, mobile application or authorised travel agents.

The embassy said it continues to facilitate temporary Saudi transit visas for stranded Indian nationals wishing to travel to India via Saudi Arabia by crossing the Salwa land border.

The mission will remain open on all days in the coming week to provide consular services, including issuance of passports, while its control room and helplines through phone, email and WhatsApp will continue to function on a 24/7 basis.

It urged the Indian community to follow instructions issued by Qatari authorities and exercise responsibility in sharing information to help maintain public safety and community stability.

The embassy and Indian community organisations have also collaborated to support members of the Indian fishermen community in Qatar by providing dry rations to those in need.

Tensions in West Asia continue to escalate following the US-Israel strikes on Iran since February 28.
