Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is set to hold a news conference Sunday to give updates following President Trump’s decision to strike a trio of Iranian nuclear sites.

Mr. Trump announced Saturday evening that the U.S. had launched strikes against Iranian nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. He said in a national address later Saturday night that the sites “have been completely and totally obliterated.”

The president described the strikes as a “spectacular military success” and warned of “far greater” attacks if Iran does not “make peace.”

He said Hegseth, along with Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine, will hold a press briefing about the strikes at 8 a.m. ET Sunday morning.
