President Donald Trump described the recent attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites as a remarkable military achievement. He issued a strong warning to Tehran, indicating that further strikes would follow if the regime did not pursue peace.

Surprising the world just before 8 p.m. on Saturday, Trump made an announcement on Truth Social, stating that he had authorized an attack on Iran. The operation involved the use of six powerful 30,000-pound ‘bunker buster’ bombs and 30 Tomahawk missiles aimed at destroying Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

The president’s decision to join Israel on a mission to wipe out the Islamic republic’s nuclear program comes nine days after Israel first attacked. 

Around 10 p.m., Trump delivered a televised address from the White House’s Cross Hall, accompanied by Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

He spoke for less than four minutes.  

‘Tonight I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success,’ Trump said. ‘Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.’ 

‘Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier,’ Trump warned.

President Donald Trump announced a little before 8 p.m. Saturday that the United States had dropped bombs on three nuclear sites in Iran – after on Thursday giving himself two weeks to make a decision on whether the U.S. would join Israel’s war with the Islamic regime

The president opened his remarks by calling Iran the ‘world’s No. 1 state-sponsor of terror.’ 

‘For 40 years, Iran has been saying “death to America, death to Israel,”‘ Trump said. ‘They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs. That was their specialty.’  

He blamed the deaths of thousands on Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the leader of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force, who the U.S. assassinated under the direction of Trump at the Baghdad airport in January 2020. 

‘It will not continue,’ Trump warned. 

Trump thanked and congratulated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who the president spoke to by phone after the U.S.’s bombing campaign, the Daily Mail confirmed. 

‘We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before,’ Trump boasted. ‘And we’ve gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.’ 

The president then thanked the U.S.’s top military officials – saying that he hoped he would not have to order a strike on Iran again. 

‘This cannot continue. There will either be peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days,’ he warned.

The United States used B-2 bombers to carry out Saturday’s mission in Iran. The stealth bombers were tracked flying across the Pacific Ocean earlier Saturday, fueling speculation over whether President Donald Trump had initiated an attack 

‘Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight’s was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill,’ the president said.  

He warned that most Iranian targets can be taken out ‘in a matter of minutes.’ 

‘There’s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight. Not even close. There’s never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago,’ Trump said. 

Trump ended his brief remarks by thanking God. 

‘I want to just say we love you God, and we love our great military, protect them. God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel and God bless America,’ Trump said.  

The president’s address came after he announced the attacks on Iran using his Truth Social network, a little before 8 p.m. Saturday. 

‘We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,’ the president said.

‘All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,’ he continued. ‘All planes are safely on their way home.’ 

NOTHING TO SEE HERE: President Donald Trump pumped his fist – but didn’t address the press – as he arrived back at the White House from Bedminster around 6 p.m. Saturday. He would announce about two hours later that he had greenlit attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities 

‘Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this,’ Trump said. ‘NOW IS HE TIME FOR PEACE!’

‘Thank you for your attention to this matter,’ he added. 

The president revealed to Fox News’ Sean Hannity that the U.S. military used six massive 30,000-pound ‘bunker buster’ bombs on Iran’s Fordow nuclear site. 

The other two nuclear sites were targeted with 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from submarines 400 miles away. 

Prior to the Truth Social post, the president hasn’t showed his hand, walking into the White House Saturday evening without speaking to reporters. 

The White House even called a ‘lid’ – which is when the press pool, which tracks the president’s movements, is dismissed for the day. 

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday that the president was giving himself two weeks to decide whether or not to attack Iran, with diplomatic options seemingly still on the table.
