U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the nation on Saturday night, calling on Iran to pursue peace or face intensified military strikes. The warning follows U.S. attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—over the weekend. Trump described Iran as a major destabilizing force in the Middle East and stressed that failure to seek peace could lead to severe consequences. He stated that future U.S. military actions would be more powerful and executed with precision, noting that numerous targets remain vulnerable and could be struck swiftly.
Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization denounced the U.S. strikes, labeling them a brutal attack and a clear breach of international law, including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The agency accused the International Atomic Energy Agency of enabling the strikes and affirmed Iran’s commitment to its nuclear program. Iran urged global leaders to condemn the U.S. actions and support its right to nuclear development.
