A day after striking Iran’s nuclear facilities, US President Donald Trump questioned whether there could be a change of government in Iran. In a series of social media posts, Trump praised the US military for the successful operation and stated the current Iranian regime may not be capable to make “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN.”
“It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, referring to his slogan “Make Iran Great Again.”
TRUMP PRAISES US MILITARY, CONFIRMS B-2 RETURNS HOME SAFELY
Trump congratulated the US military, saying, “There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Trump also confirmed that the B-2 stealth bombers used in the operation had landed safely back in Missouri. “The GREAT B-2 pilots have just landed, safely, in Missouri. Thank you for a job well done!!! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!” he posted.
He added that the damage caused by the strikes was major. “The damage to the Nuclear sites in Iran is said to be ‘monumental.’ The hits were hard and accurate. Great skill was shown by our military. Thank you!” he wrote.
Earlier, Trump confirmed that the US military had bombed three major nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. He said the strikes were carried out with precision and strength.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home,” he wrote.
TENSIONS RISE AS IRAN, ISRAEL EXCHANGE MISSILE FIRE
After the strikes, tensions in the Middle East rose sharply. The world is now watching closely to see how Iran will respond to the US attack on its nuclear facilities. According to reports, Tehran has promised to defend itself “at all costs.”
Meanwhile, missile exchanges between Iran and Israel have continued. An explosion in western Iran reportedly killed at least six military personnel, according to Iranian news outlets. On the other side, earlier Iranian missile strikes caused heavy damage in Tel Aviv, injuring many people and destroying buildings.
Amid the growing conflict, anti-war protesters have gathered in US cities, urging the government to avoid further escalation.
ISRAEL CLAIMS IRAN RACING TOWARD NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also addressed the situation, saying Israel has “interesting intelligence” about the location of Iran’s stockpile of uranium enriched to 60 percent. He claimed Iran is rushing toward developing nuclear weapons and must be stopped.
“We had to act,” Netanyahu said, adding that Iran’s goal to produce 300 ballistic missiles per month made the situation even more dangerous.
He defended the US and Israeli strikes on Iran, stating they were necessary to stop what he described as a growing threat to regional and global security.
