On June 22, 2025, President Donald Trump addressed the nation after the US launched strikes against three Iranian nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The address, which praised the ‘Great American Patriots,’ came after Trump had signaled a potential US-Israel alliance against Iran. He declared the military operation a ‘spectacular military success’ and stated that key Iranian facilities were ‘totally obliterated.’ Trump congratulated the American military, expressing hope that their services would no longer be needed. He also thanked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for their cooperation. The President issued a stern warning to Iran, stating, ‘There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.’
