Trump hails U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities as a success, urging peace or warning of further action.
Washington, D.C. - In a late-night address to the nation, President Donald Trump hailed the U.S. military’s precision strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—as a "spectacular military success." The operation, executed with surgical accuracy, obliterated Iran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities, delivering a decisive blow to what Trump called the "world’s number one state sponsor of terror."
"For decades, Iran’s chant of ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ has fueled violence across the Middle East," Trump declared, citing the loss of thousands of lives to Iranian-backed attacks. "Tonight, we’ve backed them into a corner. Iran must now choose peace—or face far greater consequences."
The strikes, which involved six 15-ton bunker-buster bombs dropped by B-2 stealth bombers on Fordow and 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from U.S. submarines targeting Natanz and Isfahan, caught the world by surprise. Trump praised the U.S. military’s unparalleled skill and thanked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for seamless coordination, dubbing their partnership "a team like no other."
Strategic Deception and Swift Action
Just days earlier, Trump had signaled a two-week deliberation period on whether to strike, a move analysts now see as a deliberate feint. Reports of B-2 bombers heading to Guam further masked preparations, allowing the U.S. to execute what Trump called "the most difficult and lethal" operation of its kind. "No other military could’ve done this," he boasted, warning Iran that remaining targets could be hit "in minutes" if peace talks falter.
The strikes follow Israel’s pre-emptive "Operation Rising Lion" on June 12, which targeted Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure after stalled negotiations in Oman. With Iran’s nuclear program reportedly nearing a breakthrough, both nations acted to neutralize the threat. Trump announced that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine will brief the public Sunday morning.
A Call for Peace
Ending his address with a nod to divine protection and patriotic fervor, Trump urged, "God bless the Middle East, Israel, and America." Yet, his message to Iran was stark: "There will be either peace or tragedy." As the world watches, the next moves in this high-stakes chess game will shape the region’s future.

Trump’s strike on Iran’s nuclear sites was like a geopolitical mic drop—boom, facilities gone! But here’s the kicker: while he’s playing 4D chess with B-2 bombers, Iran’s left scrambling like a cat on a hot tin roof. Why’d they ditch those Oman talks? Probably thought they could outbluff the Deal-Maker-in-Chief. Big mistake. Now, will Iran fold or double down? Either way, Trump’s got them sweating like a Tehran summer. Oh, and Bibi’s high-fiving in Jerusalem—talk about a bromance sealed by bunker-busters!
