India, June 22 -- In a series of escalatory moves in the war between Israel and Iran, the United States on Saturday joined the conflict, striking three Iranian nuclear facilities and military sites.

US President Donald Trump called the strikes "very successful", while adding that all planes used for the attack were safely returning home. The strikes were also confirmed by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.

However, Iran confirmed Sunday that there "no signs of contamination" after the targeted strikes at its nuclear facilities. The country's National Nuclear Safety System Center said that no radioactive release had been detected by radiation detectors, the Iranian state media reported.
