President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that a targeted US “hit” on Iranian nuclear sites was the decisive factor in bringing about a ceasefire in the 12-day Iran-Israel war. He controversially referenced the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a comparable example of a war-ending strike.
Trump argued that the immense pressure on Iran, including the American military action, had effectively ended their pursuit of nuclear weapons. He countered intelligence reports indicating a limited impact, asserting that Iran’s nuclear facilities were entirely destroyed.
The conflict commenced with Israel’s bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, citing concerns about nuclear proliferation. Iran consistently denied these claims, asserting its nuclear program was for peaceful purposes. The hostilities resulted in considerable damage and casualties.
A ceasefire, reportedly brokered by Trump, was holding as of Wednesday. Trump’s statements underscore his belief in the immediate and far-reaching consequences of American military intervention.
