Trump Speaks After U.S. Bombs Key Iran Nuclear Sites<\/p>\n
The U.S. has entered Israel\u2019s war against Iran, attacking three nuclear sites. In an address from the White House, President Trump said the objective of the attacks \u201cwas the destruction of Iran\u2019s nuclear enrichment capacity\u201d and warned of more strikes \u201cif peace does not come quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pentagon officials said on Sunday that three of Iran\u2019s nuclear sites sustained \u201csevere damage\u201d from the U.S. strikes overnight that have prompted a furious response from Tehran and spurred fears of more dangerous escalations across the Middle East.<\/p>\n
President Trump said the U.S. military joined Israel\u2019s war against Iran to destroy Iran\u2019s nuclear enrichment capacity and claimed success, saying that three nuclear facilities had been \u201ccompletely and totally obliterated.\u201d The full extent of the damage to the sites was not immediately clear, and top Pentagon officials later said that it was too soon to say whether Iran still retains some nuclear ability.<\/p>\n
\u201cIran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace,\u201d Mr. Trump said in a brief, televised address from the White House. \u201cIf they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.\u201d<\/p>\n
Iranian officials said they were working to assess the scale of the damage to facilities at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan from the strikes that hit early Sunday local time. In a news conference on Sunday morning, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, said that the initial battle damage assessment indicated that all three sites had sustained \u201csevere damage and destruction\u201d and that a final assessment would take time. A senior U.S. official acknowledged that the attack on the Fordo site did not destroy the heavily fortified facility, but severely damaged it.<\/p>\n
Mr. Trump\u2019s decision to attack Iran was likely to dim hopes for a negotiated solution to end the fighting, just days after the president had indicated he would wait for as long as two weeks to give diplomacy a chance. After the U.S. strikes, Iran\u2019s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, lashed out at the United States for undercutting recent diplomatic efforts \u2014 and rejected calls by European leaders to return to the negotiating table.<\/p>\n
He told a news conference in Istanbul that Iran \u201creserves all options to defend its security interests and people,\u201d but declined to be more specific \u2014 including about whether Iran would retaliate against U.S. military bases in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to respond based on our legitimate right of self-defense,\u201d he told reporters, adding that \u201cthere are a variety of options available to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
The U.S. strikes ushered in a period of high alert in the region, where more than 40,000 American troops are on bases and warships, as the Pentagon braced for retaliation. While U.S. officials say that Iran has depleted its stockpile of medium-range missiles, the country still has an ample supply of other weapons, including rockets and drones.<\/p>\n
Hours after the American attack, which included cruise missiles and more than a dozen 30,000-pound bombs, Iran launched a new round of missiles toward Israel. The Israeli authorities said that at least 16 people were wounded in the barrage, one of many exchanges of fire between the two sides since Israel\u2019s military launched a surprise assault on Iran on June 13.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said early Sunday that the U.S. strikes had been carried out \u201cin full coordination\u201d between the American and Israeli militaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
