Israel-Iran tensions: President Donald Trump issues warning to Iran

“There will be either peace or a greater tragedy for Iran than what we have witnessed over the past eight days,” US President Donald Trump emphasized in a 3.5-minute speech in the Oval Office (White House) at 10 p.m. (local time) on June 21.

“Remember, there are many other targets,” Donald Trump warned.

According to President Donald Trump, the night of June 21 was the most difficult night for all. But if peace does not come quickly, “we will go after other targets precisely, quickly and skillfully.” Mr. Donald Trump emphasized that most of these targets can be destroyed in just a few minutes.

Posting on the social network Truth Social immediately after the speech, Mr. Trump said any retaliatory action by Iran against the US would be met with “greater force” than what was witnessed on the evening of June 21.

According to observers, Donald Trump's message reflects the US administration's readiness to escalate further if provoked, reinforcing its long-standing promise that a nuclear-armed Iran "will not be accepted".

"Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely destroyed," he said, stressing that the aim of the attack was to destroy Iran's uranium enrichment capacity and prevent nuclear threats.

In his speech, the White House chief thanked the Israeli military and praised the US military for “an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in decades.” He praised Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine and all the military personnel who participated in the attack.

Mr. Donald Trump also informed that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Lieutenant General Dan Caine, will hold a press conference at 8:00 a.m. on June 22 (local time) at the Pentagon to provide more information about the airstrikes.

In an interview with Fox News, Mr. Donald Trump said that 6 bunker-buster bombs were dropped on Fordow, while 30 Tomahawk missiles were fired at other Iranian nuclear facilities.
