President Donald Trump revealed Sunday night that ‘monumental damage’ has been done ‘to all nuclear sites in Iran’ as he called for a regime change in the Islamic country.
The US president wrote on his Truth Social page that satellite images he obtained showed the Iranian nuclear facilities were ‘obliterated,’ and noted that the most damage ‘took place far below ground level.’
‘Bullseye!!!’ he declared, hours after he suggested Iran’s current regime ‘is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN.’
‘Why wouldn’t there be a regime change,’ Trump asked, rhetorically – even though he and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer had earlier urged Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini to ‘return to the negotiating table as soon as possible.’
The two world leaders made the urgent request just one day after the US sent a fleet of B-2 bombers to take out three Iranian enrichment sites.
The ‘bunker buster’ raid from Trump stunned the world and led the United Nations to hold an emergency meeting on Sunday afternoon, where officials said the US crippled Iran’s crucial enrichment sites.
In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that the nation ‘have to respond’ to Trump’s aggression, and the US terror threat was ominously raised in anticipation of a tit-for-tat strike.
Earlier Sunday, Trump taunted Iran as he said his actions took ‘the bomb right out of their hands’, and praised the overnight strikes as a ‘spectacular military success.’
The president spoke out as reports emerged that he attempted to arrange peace talks with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Turkey a week before his strikes, but he was snubbed.
Trump even offered to fly to Turkey personally for face-to-face talks, but expressed frustration with Iran before he ultimately decided to launch on Saturday night.
As US officials caution Iran that any attack on US targets would draw an unprecedented response, Tehran has begun preparing to close the Strait of Hormuz in a move that would throw global oil and gas markets into chaos.
