‘There will be either peace, or there will be tragedy for Iran,’ what President Trump said in a national address from the White House Saturday night
The United States launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, President Trump announced Saturday evening, calling them a “spectacular military success.”
“The U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear assemblies in the Iranian regime: Fordo, Natanz and Esfahan,” President Trump said in a national address from the White House 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 number one state sponsor of terror.”
Prior to his address, the president wrote on his Truth Social platform that a “full payload of BOMBS” was dropped on the “primary site” Fordo. The president also said all U.S. planes made it safely out of Iranian air space.
And in second post, Mr. Trump wrote: “This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISTAEL (sic), AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR. THANK YOU!”
The president addressed the nation regarding the strikes late Saturday night, saying that “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated” and issuing a warning to Iran to strive for a peace deal in its war with Israel.

“There will be either peace, or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days,” Mr. Trump said while flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. “Remember, there are many targets left.”
Mr. Trump added that “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.”
Iran has pledged to retaliate if the U.S. joined the Israeli assault, which began with airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and military targets on June 13. Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks on Israeli cities.
But in a follow-up social media post following his national address, Mr. Trump said that “ANY RETALIATION BY IRAN AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL BE MET WITH FORCE FAR GREATER THAN WHAT WAS WITNESSED TONIGHT.”
