Donald Trump addressed the country after praising the “very successful” US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

His full address on Saturday evening is available in its entirety here:

The US military launched numerous precision strikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, three important nuclear installations controlled by the Iranian regime.

As they built this abominably destructive enterprise, everyone knew those names for years. Our goals were to stop Iran’s nuclear enrichment capability and put an end to the state’s top nuclear sponsor, Iran, who is the world’s top nuclear supporter.

Tonight, I can reveal to the world that the military’s strikes were a remarkable success. The main nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran have been completely destroyed. The Middle East’s bullies, Iran, must now reconcile.

Future attacks will be much bigger and much simpler if they don’t.

Iran has been saying “Death to America, death to Israel” for 40 years.

They have been using roadside bombs to kill our people, stripping off their arms, and killing them.

Over a thousand people died as a direct result of their hatred, and hundreds more in the Middle East and other parts of the world, in particular, Qassem Soleimani, their general, was responsible for many of their deaths.

I made a long-held commitment to preventing this from occurring.

It won’t continue.

Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu deserves my gratitude and praise.

We worked together as a whole, which is something that perhaps has never happened before, and we have already accomplished a lot to end this terrible threat to Israel.

I want to congratulate the Israeli military on an operation unlike anything the world has seen in a long time and, most importantly, I want to thank the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight.

Hopefully, this is the last time we need their services. That’s great, I hope so. Additionally, I want to congratulate the spectacular general and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan “Razin” Caine, as well as all of the accomplished military personnel who participated in this attack.

This cannot continue, despite all of that being said.

Iran will experience far greater tragedy than we have seen in the past eight days, and either way there will be peace or tragedy.

Remember that there are still many targets. Even though tonight’s was by far the most difficult and perhaps the most deadly of them all, we will pursue those targets with precision, speed, and skill if peace does not intervene. In a matter of seconds, the majority of them can be removed.

No military could have done the things we did tonight, not even close. Never has a military been able to carry out the events that just recently occurred.

I want to thank everyone, and especially God, at a press conference that will be held tomorrow at 8 a.m. (12 00 GMT) at the Pentagon hosted by General Caine and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

We love our great military, and we love you, God, in a simple statement. They should be protected. God’s blessings on the Middle East. God blesses America and Israel, respectively.

Donald Trump, president of the United States, has stated that the heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility has “gone” and that American forces have attacked three Iranian nuclear sites successfully.

Trump’s decision to join Israel’s military campaign against Iran on Saturday marks a significant escalation of the conflict.

Trump stated on Truth Social that “we have completed our very successful attack on the three Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan,” adding that the military aircraft were now heading home.

“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE” he continued.

Trump later claimed that Iran’s future could hold “either peace or tragedy” and that the US military could strike numerous other targets in a televised Oval Office address that lasted just over three minutes.

Trump claimed that “Iran’s important nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely destroyed.”

Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of Iran, charged Washington with breaking international law in response to the attacks.

In a social media post, Araghchi claimed that the United States had “violated a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law, and the NPT” by attacking Iran’s peaceful nuclear installations.

The circumstances of this morning are outrageous and will have repercussions for life. This lawless, extremely dangerous behavior must concern every UN member, including the UN itself.

Iran “reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people,” he continued.

Israel and Iran have been engaged in more than a week of aerial combat, which has resulted in both countries suffering injuries and deaths.

Israel launched the Iranian nuclear weapons attacks, claiming that it wanted to stop Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran claims that its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes.

“Won’t stop,”

On Sunday, Iran’s nuclear agency declared that residents near the sites’ radiation system data and field surveys do not detect any signs of contamination or danger.

No contamination was found in the field surveys and radiation systems after the illegal US attack on the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, according to the organization’s social media post.

Residents of these locations are not in danger, according to the statement. Safety is in a stable state.

The organization insisted that its work would not be put a stop to after the attacks.

The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization promises to the great Iranian nation that despite the evil plans of its enemies, it will not allow the development of this country’s industry, which is the result of the blood of nuclear martyrs, be stopped, according to a statement from the organization.

The US reportedly spoke to Iran diplomatically on Saturday, saying that it had no intention of starting a regime change operation.

According to US media reports, B-2 stealth bombers carried out the raid on Iran’s nuclear sites, dropping what are referred to as “bunker buster bombs” and carrying Tomahawk cruise missiles with submersible launch.

The “Awesome and Righteous US might”

Kimberly Halkett, a journalist for Al Jazeera, claimed Trump was informed that Iran’s nuclear program would be destroyed by the bombings.

According to Halkett, Halkett reported from Washington, DC, “Donald Trump has been informed that this will not lead to escalation.” He is aware, however, that his actions have the potential to escalate.

Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, praised Trump’s decision to attack Iran.

“Congratulations, President Trump,” Your courageous choice to use the American’s incredible and righteous might to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities will alter history, Netanyahu said.

Israeli military sources reported earlier on Saturday that they had successfully struck dozens of military targets in southwest Iran.

On June 13, Israel launched attacks, claiming Iran was in danger of developing nuclear weapons. Israel’s use of nuclear weapons is widely accepted, but it doesn’t confirm or refute that assertion.

Iranian officials have stated on numerous occasions that Iran will continue to pursue its nuclear energy and research rights.

Antonio Guterres, the secretary-general of the United Nations, expressed concern over the “dangerous escalation” of US strikes.

He said in a statement that there is a growing possibility that this conflict will quickly spiral out of control and have disastrous effects on people, the region, and the entire world.

According to Iranian state-run Nour News, citing the Ministry of Health, at least 430 people have died and 3,500 have been injured in Iran since Israel’s initial attacks.

In Israel’s worst direct conflict, the Iranian missile attacks have claimed 24 lives, according to local authorities. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office claims that over 450 Iranian missiles have been fired at Israel.

Iran will experience tragedy far greater than what we have seen in the past eight days, and there will either peace or tragedy. After US airstrikes against Iran, US President Donald Trump thanked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and God.

Both nations’ economies are being stifled by ongoing strikes.
