United States President Donald Trump said US air strikes on Sunday had “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s main nuclear enrichment facilities, and warned of more attacks to come if Tehran does not seek peace.
In a televised address to the nation from the White House after the United States joined “Israel’s” air campaign against Tehran, Trump called the US attacks a “spectacular military success.”
Trump shocked the globe by posting on social media that U.S. warplanes had bombed Iran’s Fordo nuclear enrichment site, along with Natanz and Isfahan facilities.
Yet this new U.S. military engagement contradicts Trump’s pledges to steer clear of another prolonged Middle East conflict—Iran has sworn to strike back at U.S. troops in the region if Washington intervenes.

“Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran the bully of the Middle East must now make peace,” said Trump.
“If they do not, future attacks will be far greater, and a lot easier,” added Trump, who was flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for his address on Saturday evening for US audiences.
