After coordinating attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that future attacks will be far greater if the Islamic nation should fail to pursue peace.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the U.S. bombed three nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan on Saturday while warning against retaliation.
However, Trump has now warned that Iran, he described as “the bully of the Middle East”, must now make peace, adding that if they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.
“A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the 3k nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
“Everybody heard those names for years as they built these horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was destruction on Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror.
“Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.
“Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.
“For forty 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.
“We lost over a thousand of people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate.
“In particular, so many were killed by their General, Qasem Soleimani. I decided a long ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue,” he said.
Speaking in a televised broadcast monitored by TNG, Trump stressed that there are many targets left and that tonight’s was the most difficult of them all by far and perhaps the most lethal, adding that if peace does not come quickly, the U.S. will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.
“I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We worked like a team like perhaps no team has ever worked be fore. We have gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.
“I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they have done, and most importantly I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many decades.
“Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that’s so. I also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Razin Caine, spectacular General and all of the military minds involved in this attack.
“With all of that being said, we cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we have witnessed in 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. There is no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight. Not even close. There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago,” Trump said.
UN chief ‘alarmed’ by U.S. bombings in Iran
Meanwhile, United Nations (UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres has condemned the United States’ use of force against Iran, saying he is alarmed by the action.
Guterres, in a statement on Saturday night shortly after Trump announced U.S. strike on three nuclear sites in Iran, said the action was a dangerous escalation in the Middle East.
U.S. President Donald Trump had said on Saturday night that the U.S. military had bombed Fordow, Iran’s heavily fortified nuclear facility as well as two other sites, Natanz and Esfahan.
“I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security.
“There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world,” Guterres said.
The UN chief called on member states to de-escalate and to uphold their obligations under the UN Charter and other rules of international law.
“At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos. There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace,” the UN scribe said.
