‘The bully must now make peace’: What Donald Trump said after Iran strike; top quotes
Donald Trump’s deal with
US President Donald Trump addressed the nation late Saturday after what he described as a “spectacular military success,” as American forces launched precision strikes on Iran, focusing on its nuclear infrastructure. The operation severely broken three main nuclear websites positioned in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan — core services of Iran’s atomic program.The assault on Fordow, one in every of Iran’s most safe underground nuclear services, reportedly concerned six 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs.
These highly effective weapons can solely be delivered by the US Air Force’s B-2 stealth bombers, underscoring the high-level coordination and navy functionality deployed within the mission.Trump’s speech adopted greater than per week of Israeli airstrikes aimed toward weakening Iran’s air defences and softening its nuclear capabilities — a marketing campaign that seems to have paved the best way for the US-led strikes.
Here’s what Trump said in his deal with:
- “Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.”
- “The attacks were to stop Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and put a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror.”
- “Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror.”
- “I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.”
- “We worked as a team, like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we’ve gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they’ve done.”
- “There will be either peace, or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.”
- “Iran, bully of the Middle East, must now make peace.”
- “For 40 years, Iran has been saying death to Israel, death to the US. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs.”
- “So many were killed by their general, Qasem Soleimani. I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue.”
- “I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they’ve done, and most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades…”
