Following recent U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, President Donald Trump has entered a new and highly scrutinized phase of his second term. While the administration has defended the actions as a necessary step to reduce global threats, the international community—and some domestic groups—are expressing concerns.
In a televised address on Saturday evening, President Trump described the strikes on Iran’s Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan facilities as a “spectacular military success,” stating, “Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror.”
Global Reactions Pour In
The international response was swift. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi strongly criticized the strikes, calling them “outrageous” and warning of lasting consequences. On social media, he wrote, “Every member of the UN must be alarmed by this extremely dangerous and unlawful behavior.”
In contrast, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the move, describing it as a demonstration of strength that could reshape the future. “President Trump and I often say: ‘Peace through strength.’ First comes strength, then comes peace,” Netanyahu said.
