The United States has attacked Iran. Donald Trump calls it a “spectacular success”

US President Donald Trump informed his countrymen about the attack in a speech. He said the United States had joined the war with Iran, and American planes had dropped bombs on three sites associated with Iran's nuclear program.

"Our goal was to destroy Iran's ability to enrich uranium and end the nuclear threat from the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism. Today, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success," Trump said.

The politician reported that Iran's uranium enrichment facilities had been completely and utterly destroyed, and that Iran, " the rogue of the Middle East, must make peace now. If it does not, future attacks will be much more powerful. "

Trump continued to say that for 40 years Iran has preached "death to America, death to Israel." "They killed our people, tore off their arms, tore off their legs with roadside bombs. That was their specialty," the US president said. "We lost over a thousand people, and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and the world died as a direct result of their hatred," he added.

Trump thanked and congratulated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasizing that the US and Israel acted as a team and “ have come a long way to erase this terrible threat to Israel. ”

"I want to thank the Israeli military for the great job they did. And most of all, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew these great aircraft tonight, and the entire United States Armed Forces for an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades," Trump said.

The United States used B-2 bombers to attack Iran, leaving Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri on Saturday for bases on the island of Guam. They are the only aircraft capable of carrying and dropping the GBU-57, a 29,000-pound penetrating bomb designed to destroy bunkers and other heavily fortified facilities.

On Saturday evening, the US president met with his national security team to decide whether the United States will enter the conflict.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi called the attack “extremely dangerous, unlawful and criminal behavior,” adding that every member of the United Nations should be “concerned.”

Araghchi stressed that the United States, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, committed a serious violation of the UN Charter, international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by attacking "Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities."

“In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing for a legitimate response in self-defense, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and population,” Araghchi wrote in a post on X.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Donald Trump's decision to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities would change history. He called it "courageous."

“History will record that President Trump acted to deny the most dangerous regime in the world the most dangerous weapons in the world,” Netanyahu said. “Thank you. The people of Israel thank you,” he said to Donald Trump.

In response to the American airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities, Iran attacked Israel with ballistic missiles. According to Israeli media, Iran fired more than 20 missiles at Israel in response to the US attack. An alert was declared throughout the country. The missiles hit northern and central Israel, including Haifa. Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv was also reportedly targeted. The media reported that at least 11 people were injured in the attack.
