President Donald Trump described the US military strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities as a “spectacular military success” in a national address from the White House Cross Hall on Saturday night.
“Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated,” Trump said in his first public remarks since the strikes were carried out.
He also warned that the US could go after additional targets if Iran does not make peace, advocating for a diplomatic resolution following his decision to strike a trio of Iranian nuclear sites Saturday.
“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 said. “This cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left.”
Trump warned that the US could “go after those other targets with precision, speed, and skill,” which he said could be done “in a matter of minutes.”
After his address, Trump took to social media to issue a stark warning to Iran, vowing overwhelming retaliation if Iran responds with force.
