‘Iran, the bully of Middle East': Donald Trump's salvo at Tehran after US attacks Iranian nuclear sites
US President dubbed Iran as "the bully of the Middle East" and warned that the Islamic country "must now make peace." His statement came after the US attacked three Iranian nuclear sites — Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow — further escalating the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel. "Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace," said Trump in a late night address to the nation on Saturday. "If they do not, future attacks will be far greater, and a lot easier," added Trump, who was flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for his address on Saturday evening for US audiences. Speaking from the White House, the US President said, '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.' Following the US' strikes in Iran, now all eyes are on how the Islamic country would respond to the attack. 'Any retaliation by Iran against the United States of America will be met with force far greater than what was witnessed tonight. Thank you!" Trump wrote on TRUTH social. The conflict between Israel and Iran entered its ninth day on Saturday, with the US now joining in support of Israel. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the US military carried out a "very successful attack" on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordow. Calling Saturday's attack on Iran the 'most difficult' and 'most lethal' one in the last week, the US President said, '…if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.' The underground site at Fordow and the larger Natanz plant were Iran's two primary uranium enrichment facilities, out of which Natanz had already been hit by Israel with smaller weapons earlier in the week, the New York Times reported. The third site, located near the historic city of Isfahan, is believed to store Iran's stockpile of near-weapons-grade enriched uranium. The conflict began after Israel launched a massive airstrike on Iranian military and nuclear sites on June 13. In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a large-scale drone and missile operation, 'Operation True Promise 3', targeting Israeli fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply centres.

US joins Israeli offensive against Iran as Trump announces strikes on 3 nuclear sites in Tehran
US President Donald Trump on Saturday announced that America has struck three nuclear sites in Iran, directly joining the Israeli offensive against the Islamic country to decapitate its nuclear programme and threatening a possible Iranian retaliation that could spark a wider regional conflict. Iran's state run news agency IRNA reported early on Sunday that the attacks targeted the country's Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites without elaborating. In a major escalation of conflict, Trump joined the Israeli offensive against Iran after days of deliberation and more than a week after Israel launched its strikes on Iran that aimed to systematically destroy the country's air defences and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities. Trump said: 'We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan…Iran must agree to end this war.' The US President added that he would address the country on Saturday night at the White House and give out details about the US military's operation in Iran. The strikes by US on three nuclear sites in Iran is a perilous decision as Tehran had pledged to retaliate if Washington joined the Israeli offensive. The US strikes also goes against Trump's electoral promise where he had said to keep America out of costly foreign conflicts. 'We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.… — The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 21, 2025 The United States struck three key nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz — hubs of Iran's nuclear ambitions. The International Atomic Energy Agency had confirmed that Iran was producing highly enriched uranium at Fordow, which raised the possibility of the nuclear material to be released in the area. Earlier strikes by Israel on Natanz nuclear site's centrifuge had only caused contamination at the site itself, not the surrounding area, the IAEA had said. The Fordow nuclear site is located near the city of Qom and is surrounded by mountains. Not much was known about this nuclear site until the Israeli intelligence was able to steal a trove of Iranian documents related to the site years ago. The main hall of the nuclear site is located about 80 to 90 metres beneath the ground. A recent IAEA report had stated that Iran had ramped up production of enriched uranium to a level of 60% at Fordow and the facility contains about 2,700 centrifuges. The Isfahan nuclear site is the largest nuclear research complex in the country and is located in central Iran. It was opened in 1984 and was built with the help of China, non-profit organisation NTI stated. According to NTI, about 3,000 scientists work at the facility which is 'suspected of being the center' of Iran's nuclear programme. President Donald Trump's direct military intervention in Iran, by joining the Israeli offensive, comes after his administration pushed for a nuclear deal with the Islamic country and held several high-level talks, direct negotiations in the past couple of months. However, the Trump administration's attempts to persuade Tehran to curb its nuclear programme failed and no agreement was reached. It was then that Israel launched its strike against Tehran last Friday. Trump, while issuing a warning to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had said: 'We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.' The US's military conflict with Iran comes after seven years when Trump withdrew from a deal signed between Tehran and then US President Barack Obama's administration, calling it the 'worst deal ever'.

Israel-Iran Attacks Live Updates: There Will Be "Either Peace Or Tragedy" In Iran, Says Trump
Israel-Iran Attacks Live Updates: The United States on Sunday carried out a "very successful attack" on three nuclear sites in Iran, President Donald Trump said late on Saturday, as his administration intervened in the conflict between the Islamic republic and Israel that escalated last week. Iran "must now agree to end this war", Mr Trump posted on social media as the US dropped 'full payload of bombs' on Iran's Fordow nuclear site. Iranian media also reported that part of Fordo nuclear site was 'attacked by enemy strikes'. The air war began on June 13 when Israel attacked Iran, in what it said was aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons - an ambition Tehran denies. The attack raised alarms in a region that has been on edge since the start of Israel's war in Gaza in October 2023. Israel is the only country in the Middle East widely believed to have nuclear weapons, and said it struck Iran to prevent Tehran from developing its own nuclear weapons. Iran, which says its nuclear program is peaceful, has retaliated with its own strikes on Israel. Iran is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, while Israel is not.
