Trump Issues Stark Warning to Iran Following US Strikes
In a forceful address from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump delivered a clear message to Iran: choose between peace or face devastating consequences. This statement comes on the heels of US military operations that targeted and "completely and totally obliterated" several critical Iranian nuclear sites.
Key Nuclear Facilities Targeted
The operations focused on three major nuclear complexes: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Trump described the strikes as a "spectacular military success," emphasizing the mission's goal to dismantle Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities and neutralize a significant threat posed by what he called the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism.
Peace or Tragedy: A Stark Choice
"For 40 years, Iran has promoted slogans like 'Death to America, death to Israel,' and has inflicted horrific harm through roadside bombs," Trump remarked, highlighting decades of hostility. He warned of consequences far worse than the recent eight days of conflict should Iran retaliate. "There will either be peace or tragedy for Iran," he said, underscoring that numerous high-value targets remain and could be struck if necessary with "precision, speed, and skill."
Strong Ties and Teamwork with Israel
Trump took the opportunity to praise Israel's cooperation, mentioning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He credited the close collaboration between the two nations' militaries as unprecedented in effectiveness. "We worked as a team, like perhaps no team has ever worked before," Trump stated, acknowledging the Israeli military's significant role in the operation.
Unmatched Military Capability
Emphasizing the scale and precision of the strikes, Trump asserted that no other military worldwide could have executed the mission as effectively. "There’s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight. Not even close," he declared, reinforcing the notion of US military superiority.
Confirmation via Social Media
Earlier, Trump took to his social media platform to confirm that "a full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordow," with all aircraft exited safely from Iranian airspace. He expressed pride in the American forces, dubbing them "great American Warriors," and reiterated his call for peace following the successful operation.
President Trump's message marks a critical juncture in US-Iran relations, signaling a new phase of heightened military and diplomatic pressure.
