Trump addresses nation after strikes on Iran

President Donald Trump made a historic announcement just after 10 p.m. Eastern Time, revealing the success of the U.S. military’s strikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities. Addressing the nation, Trump declared, “Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity, and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.”

The strikes targeted the Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan facilities, all of which have been synonymous with Iran’s nuclear ambitions for years. Trump highlighted the decades-long hostility of the Iranian regime, emphasizing their chants of “death to America” and “death to Israel.” He recounted the devastating toll Iran’s actions have taken, including the loss of over a thousand American lives and countless others worldwide.

The decision to strike Iran came after the country pulled out of negotiations with the U.S. and Israel launched preemptive strikes on June 12. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu justified the strikes as necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, a move that created a strategic opportunity for the U.S. in ongoing nuclear talks.

The U.S. military used a combination of bunker-buster bombs and Tomahawk missiles in the strikes, showcasing the country’s military might and precision. Trump’s announcement on Truth Social, without prior media leaks, underscored the swift and decisive action taken by the U.S. to neutralize the Iranian nuclear threat.

As the world awaits Iran’s response to the strikes, Trump has vowed to retaliate with the full strength and might of the U.S. military if necessary. The strategic implications of the strikes, coupled with Israel’s actions, have reshaped the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
