In a context of repeated regional threats and Tehran's persistent refusal to restart negotiations on its nuclear program, Washington opted for a forceful yet surgical response aimed at destroying the Iranian regime's military and nuclear capabilities.
The U.S. president also referred to his country's Armed Forces: "Congratulations to our great American warriors. No other army in the world could have done this"
Finally, Trump emphasized that this intervention doesn't seek to prolong tensions, but rather to open a new chapter: "Now is the time for peace!" Trump concluded in his statement.
His message reflects the Republican administration's intention to contain an imminent threat, while also offering an opportunity for diplomacy to prevent more serious scenarios.
Moments after publishing that message, Trump announced that he would deliver a speech: "I will deliver an address to the nation at 10:00 p.m. at the White House, regarding our successful military operation in Iran. This is a historic moment for the United States, Israel, and the world. Iran must now agree to end this war. Thank you!"
With this operation, the United States reaffirms its deterrent capability, sends a clear message to hostile actors, and, above all, creates the necessary conditions for international dialogue to resume from a position of greater security and clarity.
