Washington, DC [US], June 28 (ANI): US President Donald Trump on Friday (local time) reiterated that Iran must return to the global order, warning that the situation could worsen for the country otherwise. His comments came in the wake of Operation Midnight Hammer, during which US forces struck three key Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Why would the so-called ‘Supreme Leader,’ Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war-torn country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the war with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie? It is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie. His country was decimated, his three evil nuclear sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces—by far the greatest and most powerful in the world—terminate his life.”
“I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, ‘THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!’ In fact, in the final act of the war, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day—perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed. It was going to be the biggest attack of the war, by far,” he added.
Trump emphasized that he had convinced Israel to recall its fighter jets during the final moments of the conflict, and expressed disappointment over what he called Iran’s ungrateful response.
“During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery—the sanctions are BITING! But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more,” Trump stated. “Iran has to get back into the World Order flow, or things will only get worse for them.”
Earlier on Friday, during a press briefing, the President reaffirmed the success of the US strikes and praised the military’s precision and expertise.
“So Iran wants to meet. As you know, their sites were obliterated. They’re very evil nuclear sites. We had some fake news for a little while. The same people that covered the Hunter Biden laptop said it was from Russia… They came up with something that delayed the credit our great pilots deserved—what talent that was,” Trump said.
He described the difficulty of the operation: “They hit it right down in the spot—fifty-two thousand feet. Think of this—dark, no moon. You couldn’t see a thing, and they hit the refrigerator door, as they say. That’s the size of a target… We’re the only ones that could have done it. And we took out two of the other sites also. In addition to that, we finished them off.”
Trump claimed Iran had spent over a trillion dollars on its nuclear program but failed to make it operational. He also dismissed any speculation that Iran had relocated sensitive material prior to the strike.
“It’s very heavy material. Those cars were most likely the cars of masons because they were pouring concrete at the top of the hatch going into the nuclear site. They wanted to reinforce it, and they had some masons there pouring concrete. By the way, that concrete was obliterated. It hit exactly at the concrete. It was—I don’t think it had a chance to dry—but everything’s down there. It’s under millions of tons of rock.”
Trump’s remarks come amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran and ongoing international concern over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. (ANI)
