Following increased tensions between Iran and Israel, the United States has launched an attack on Iranian nuclear sites. President Trump stated that if Iran does not seek peace, it should prepare for even more significant attacks.
Iran Attack: Tensions between Iran and Israel have escalated, with the United States now directly involved. US President Donald Trump confirmed military action against Iran in a national address. The US attacked key Iranian nuclear sites. Trump described this as a necessary step to eliminate Iran's nuclear threat. He issued a stark warning to Iran, suggesting that failure to establish peace could lead to even greater destruction.
A Major US Action
The tense situation between Iran and Israel, which began on June 13th, has drastically worsened. The United States has intervened openly in the conflict for the first time. The US military launched missile strikes targeting major nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, Iran. US President Donald Trump himself announced these attacks and explained the reasoning behind them.
In his national address, Trump stated that the attack aimed to neutralize Iran's nuclear capabilities. He claimed this action was necessary to ensure the safety of the United States and its allies.
Trump's Clear Message: No More Tolerance for Iranian Threats
In his address, Donald Trump adopted a firm stance against Iran, stating that for the past 40 years, Iran has spread hatred against the United States and its citizens. This policy has resulted in the loss of thousands of American and Israeli lives.
He declared, "This will not continue." According to Trump, the US attack was not the beginning of a war, but a clear message that Iran's nuclear program will not be tolerated.
Fordo Site Completely Destroyed: Trump
Trump stated in his address that among the targeted sites was Fordo, one of the most secure and sensitive facilities. This location is considered a central component of Iran's nuclear program. According to Trump, the US has completely destroyed this site. He added, "Our forces have achieved the impossible. Fordo is now completely eliminated."
Open Warning to Iran
Addressing the nation, Trump clearly warned Iran that if peace is not established, the US will take even ber measures. He said that future attacks would be far more devastating and extensive. In a telephone interview with Reuters, Trump stated, "Iran must establish peace as soon as possible. If it does not, it must prepare for further attacks."
Israel Supports US Action
Responding to the US attack on Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the action as "courageous." He supported Trump's stance, stating that peace can only be achieved after a demonstration of power. Netanyahu said, "Trump and I believe that power comes first, then peace. America has shown this power."
Iran Confirms Attack, Calls it Illegal
Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) confirmed the US attacks. According to the AEOI, the US violated international law, and this is a completely illegal action. Iran claims that the attack on its nuclear facilities violates UN rules and the sovereignty of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency).
The AEOI also stated that Iran will not halt its nuclear program under any circumstances. They said, "Our nuclear program is entirely peaceful and will not be stopped under any pressure."
Questions Raised about IAEA's Role
Iran also questioned the IAEA's role alongside the US. Iranian officials claim that the IAEA cooperated with the US, which raises questions about its impartiality. Iran has appealed to the global community to condemn the attack and indicated it will raise the issue in the UN Security Council.
