The platform crashed just minutes after President Donald Trump announced that the US had bombed Iran’s nuclear sites.
“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. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he added.
In a separate social media post, Trump declared, “Fordow is gone,” likely referring to the underground nuclear facility near Natanz.
The bombings followed the deployment of B-2 bombers to Guam earlier on Saturday. A US official confirmed to Reuters that B-2 bombers took part in the strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.
It remains unclear whether Israeli forces were involved in the latest attacks. Iran is yet to acknowledge any strikes.
Earlier in the week, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned the United States that any attacks on the Islamic Republic will “result in irreparable damage for them.”
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei had also declared “any American intervention would be a recipe for an all-out war in the region."
