U.S. President Donald Trump has delivered a sharp warning to Iran, urging the nation to choose peace or face further military strikes.
His remarks followed coordinated U.S. airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—over the weekend.
“Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier,” Trump said during a national address Saturday night.
“This cannot continue. There will either be peace or a tragedy for Iran, far worse than anything we’ve seen over the last eight days. And remember—many targets remain,” he added, stressing that U.S. forces are ready to strike “with precision, speed, and skill” within minutes.
Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization condemned the attacks, calling them a “savage assault” and a “clear breach of international law,” including the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The agency accused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of turning a blind eye and reaffirmed that Iran will not abandon its nuclear ambitions. It also called on world powers to oppose the U.S. strikes and defend Iran’s right to develop nuclear technology.
