The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said the night that the mission to end Iran's nuclear facilities was a “spectacular military success” and that the country's nuclear capabilities have been “totally destroyed.”
Trump addressed the country hours after having announced through its own social social network social that American aircraft B-2 had attacked Iranian facilities of Fordo, Natanz and Isfahán.
“Our goal was to destroy Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and stop the nuclear threat that represented the main sponsoring state of terrorism worldwide,” Trump said.
“Tonight, I can inform the world that the attacks were a spectacular military success. Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities have been total and completely destroyed.”
In his speech, Trump said there is the possibility of new attacks if they will “do not sign peace”, which would be “easier and more blunt.”
“Remember, there are many goals,” Trump said. Tonight (we attack) the most difficult of all. “
“But if peace does not arrive soon, we will attack those other objectives with precision and speed,” said the US president.
“There will be peace or tragedy for Iran, a bigger tragedy than we have seen the last eight days,” I add in reference to Israel's attacks against Iran to those who joined the US this Saturday.
