Trump delivers chilling 10-word warning shot if Iran 'doesn't make peace'
Donald Trump issued a chilling warning to Iran after launching airstrikes that eradicated three of the country's nuclear facilities. "Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace," the president said before issuing the 10-word threat: "If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier." He began his speech by detailing the mission that was carried out on Saturday night. "Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's No. 1 state sponsor of terror," Trump began the short speech, which he delivered from the White House on Saturday night.

Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated," he claimed. The strikes on Saturday night targeted three locations — Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan, according to Trump, who gloated about the attack on his Truth Social just after it happened. "We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan," he wrote. "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 attacks were carried out using B-2 bombers (Image: AP) "Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter," he concluded. He later posted a simple picture of the American flag. During his Saturday night address, Trump admitted to working with Israel — in particular, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — to carry out the attacks. He thanked Netanyahu for his support, and Netanyahu later told Fox News, "Tonight, President Trump and the U.S. acted with a lot of strength. President Trump, I thank you. The people of Israel thank you." The Israeli prime minister later issued a statement on his X account, writing, "President Trump and I often say: 'Peace through strength.' First comes strength, then comes peace. And tonight, @realDonaldTrump and the United States acted with a lot of strength." "Congratulations, President Trump. Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history," he added in the video message attached to the tweet. "History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime the world's most dangerous weapons. His leadership today has created a pivot of history that can help lead the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity and peace," he said. The rest of Trump's speech slammed Iran for its political decisions over the years — namely, its backing of rebel groups like the Houthis in Yemen, who have targeted American — and allied — assets in the Middle East for years. He blamed Iran for sponsoring terrorism and went on a tirade about their alleged "roadside bombs." "For 40 years, Iran has been saying, 'Death to America! Death to Israel!' They have been killing our people — blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs. That was their specialty," he said. "We lost over a thousand people, and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate," he continued. He then issued another chilling threat to Iran: "This cannot continue — there will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. "Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and, perhaps, the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes," he said. The attacks were a risky gambit to weaken Tehran, with fears of a broader regional conflict on the horizon. There wasn't any immediate reaction from the Iranian government concerning the strikes, but the country's state-run IRNA news agency confirmed the attack on the Fordow facility early Sunday. IRNA reported that Iran's air defenses were activated during the attack, but there wasn't any further information provided about the damage or the nature of the attack, which was carried out by B-2 bombers from the U.S., which were seen heading to the region over the past day. Israeli officials previously said that the U.S.'s 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs that the country alone carries were the only ones that offered a good enough chance to damage the nuclear facilities in Iran. The bombs are carried by B-2 bombers, which the U.S. sent to the region over the past couple of days. They were seen leaving the Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri on Friday, according to CNN, and then were detected flying over the Pacific Ocean, likely to Guam, on Saturday. Reports indicate that six bunker busters were dropped on Fordow, while the other facilities were destroyed by about 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from American submarines stationed about 400 miles away, according to Fox News' Sean Hannity. Israel's military warned on Saturday that it's ready for a lengthy war with Iran.

All smiles: Juventus made a flying start to the Club World Cup (AFP via Getty Images) Juventus will look to secure their place in the last-16 of the Club World Cup when they take on Wydad AC this evening. It was an ideal start to the tournament for the Italian side, who thrashed Al-Ain 5-0 after scoring four first-half goals. Advertisement They will now be eyeing three more points here to leave the final group-stage match against Manchester City as a likely showdown for top spot. Wydad AC, though, will believe they can cause Juventus problems, having showed plenty of ambition in their opening defeat to City. The Moroccan club were beaten 2-0 but offered a threat on the counter throughout and should offer Juventus a sterner test than Al-Ain managed. The heat in Philadelphia could make conditions uncomfortable but Wydad were well-backed by their fans against City and that should be the case again here. How to watch Juventus vs Wydad AC Live stream: Viewers can watch the action live online via the DAZN website. Kick-off is at 5pm this evening. DAZN is the global broadcaster of the new-look Club World Cup. No subscription is required to watch the game, with the entire tournament available to their 'Freemium' members, which means you only need to sign up for a free DAZN account.

Family 'devastated' after cat shot by rifle in Ammanford
On Friday, June 6, Ceri Evans was informed that her cat, called Teddy, had been injured on the High Street. Teddy, who was being looked after by Ceri's mother, had returned home with blood and was suffering from excruciating pain. Teddy had to have one of her front legs removed. (Image: Ceri Evans) Ceri cried when she found her pet cat was shot. (Image: Ceri Evans) Ceri said: 'My cat Teddy was staying with mum in Ammanford High Street. Next thing I know, I got a call that something had happened to Teddy. 'At first, we thought it was an abscess, so Teddy was given antibiotics by the vet. Then, on the Wednesday, we found out that she had been shot. The incident had happened within the space of 11 minutes. 'My son is hoping karma sees the person who did this to Teddy while my daughter was away when the incident happened and was devastated when she heard what happened. 'There are a lot of animals in this area and now we know there is someone out there willing to shoot them.' The scar left from the operation. (Image: Ceri Evans) Ceri revealed that she cried when she heard Teddy had been shot and questioned who would commit such a crime. She continued: 'Why would anyone want to shoot her. She is so friendly. She wouldn't her a fly and she is so sweet. She is not a nasty cat in the slightest. 'Would you shoot someone just for peeing or pooping in your garden? I have the pellet she was shot with, and we have been the told it was taken from close range. 'I phoned the police, but they said they couldn't do anything without evidence or any CCTV footage.' The air rifle bullet that injured Teddy. (Image: Ceri Evans) Following the incident, Teddy was taken to the vet where Ceri was given two options – try and repair the front leg or have it amputated. 'In the end we were told it was better for the leg to be amputated. This turned out to be the right choice as the vet said they would have struggled to repair the leg. An x-ray of Teddy's body following the incident. (Image: Ceri Evans) Teddy has to live the rest of her life with three legs. (Image: Ceri Evans) 'It would have been my worst nightmare if she had to be put down. I have had her since she was a kitten, and she is only seven years old. 'We have to get use to her only having three legs. But we are lucky it wasn't one of the back legs as that would have been worse.'
