In a televised address to the nation from the White House after the United States joined Israel’s air campaign against Tehran, Trump called the US attacks a “spectacular military success.”
But the fresh US military entanglement comes despite Trump’s promises to avoid another “forever war” in the Middle East -- Iran has vowed to retaliate against US forces in the region if Washington got involved.
“If they do not, future attacks will be far greater, and a lot easier,“ added Trump, who was flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for his address on Saturday evening for US audiences.
Trump added that “all planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors.”
Earlier Saturday there were reports that US B-2 bombers -- which carry so-called “bunker buster” bombs -- were headed out of the United States across the Pacific.
Iranian media confirmed that part of the Fordo plant as well as the Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites were attacked.
Netanyahu congratulated Trump on the strikes, saying that “America has been truly unsurpassed.”
The US president had also stepped up his rhetoric against Iran in recent days, repeating his insistence that it could never have a nuclear weapon.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian had warned earlier Saturday of a “more devastating” retaliation should Israel’s nine-day bombing campaign continue, saying the Islamic republic would not halt its nuclear program “under any circumstances.”
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard meanwhile announced early Sunday that “suicide drones” had been launched against “strategic targets” across Israel.
Huthi threat
Top diplomats from Britain, France and Germany had met Araghchi in Geneva on Friday and urged him to resume nuclear talks with the United States that had been derailed by the war.
The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency said Friday that, based on its sources and media reports, at least 657 people had been killed in Iran, including 263 civilians.
Iran’s retaliatory strikes have killed at least 25 people in Israel, according to official figures.
Leading US Democrat Hakeem Jeffries said Trump risked US “entanglement in a potentially disastrous war in the Middle East,“ while the Israeli army raised its alert level, permitting only essential activities until further notice.
