US President Donald Trump spoke to the nation on Saturday night to announce a “spectacular military success” in the US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites earlier that evening.
“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,” Trump said, flanked by the vice president, secretary of state and defense secretary.
“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,” Trump said.
Iran must now enter into peace talks, according to the president. “If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier,” he said.
