Trump: “Complete Elimination of Iran's Nuclear Facilities... If Peace Is Not Chosen, Greater Tragedy Will Befall”

U.S. President Donald Trump, in a public address, hailed the precision strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities carried out on the 21st (local time) as a “perfect military success,” stressing that “Iran must now choose peace.” He warned, “If peace does not come, an even greater tragedy will befall Iran.”

In his speech delivered at the White House, President Trump announced, “Iran's key enrichment facilities located in Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan have been completely eliminated,” explaining that “this was an inevitable measure to preemptively remove the nuclear threat of Iran, the world’s worst state sponsor of terrorism.”

He called the operation a “major turning point” in Iran’s nuclear program, which has threatened the Middle East for decades, stating, “If Iran still rejects peace, future strikes will be even swifter and more lethal.” He further suggested the possibility of additional attacks, noting, “We can eliminate other targets within minutes from now.”

He also revealed that the operation was carried out through close cooperation with Israel. President Trump said, “We achieved unprecedented cooperation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel,” and added, “With the support of the Israeli military and precision strikes from the U.S. Air Force, we neutralized Iran’s threat.”

He declared, “For 40 years, Iran has chanted ‘Death to America, Death to Israel,’” adding, “They have killed American soldiers with roadside bombs and maimed our arms and legs. This operation sends a clear message against such terror.” He concluded, “I hope this will be the last such operation,” and said, “May God bless the Middle East, Israel, and the United States.”
