U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, urging the country to pursue peace or face additional military action.
The statement comes in the wake of U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities 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 declared during a Saturday night national address.
“This cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left,” he added, emphasizing that the U.S. military could act “with precision, speed, and skill” within minutes.
The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization strongly condemned the strikes on its nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—calling them a “savage assault” and a “blatant violation of international law,” including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
The agency accused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of complicity and vowed Iran would never abandon its nuclear program, urging global powers to stand against the U.S. strikes and defend Iran’s right to continue its nuclear development.
