President Donald Trump delivered a dramatic national address announcing that the United States had launched successful military strikes on Iran’s three key nuclear facilities—Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. He described the operation as a “spectacular military success,” stating that the goal was to dismantle Iran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities and eliminate the growing threat posed by the Iranian regime. According to Trump, the action was a necessary response to decades of Iranian aggression, including attacks on American soldiers and allies.
Trump accused Iran of fueling terrorism and hatred for over 40 years, pointing to the deaths and injuries caused by improvised explosive devices as a key grievance. He declared that Iran’s nuclear infrastructure had been “completely and totally obliterated,” suggesting that the regime had been cornered and now faced a choice: make peace or suffer further consequences.
Interestingly, the strike came just days after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt quoted Trump as saying he would decide on military action within two weeks, a statement now seen as a calculated distraction. The president explained that Iran had pulled out of diplomatic talks on June 15 and failed to return, while Israel launched strikes based on new intelligence about Iranian nuclear advancements.
Trump praised the American military for their precision and power and extended special thanks to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli military for their cooperation. He said their teamwork was unmatched, calling it a critical step toward eliminating the threat to Israel and the broader region.Concluding his remarks, Trump issued a stern warning to Iran: accept peace or face tragedy. He stressed that although tonight’s targets were the most complex, many more remain, and the U.S. military is capable of destroying them quickly. Trump lauded the operation as a testament to American strength, saying no other military could have pulled off such a mission with similar precision or impact.
