President Donald Trump announced Saturday night, June 21, 2025, that the U.S. conducted massive, precision airstrikes on Iran’s key nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan to eliminate its nuclear enrichment capacity and end the threat from the world’s top state sponsor of terror. He reminded audiences that for four decades Iran had preached “Death to America” and was responsible for the deaths of more than 1,000 Americans and hundreds of thousands in the Middle East. Declaring the mission a “spectacular military success,” he said the facilities were “completely and totally obliterated” and warned Iran to pursue peace or face even greater future attacks. He thanked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli military and praised the U.S. military for executing a historic operation with unmatched precision. Trump noted that while he hopes no further strikes are needed, many targets remain and can be destroyed quickly if Iran does not choose peace. He highlighted the exceptional work of Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump closed by thanking “our great military. … God bless the Middle East, Israel, and God bless America.” The U.S. mission included 120 planes, missiles shot from a submarine and logistical collaboration with the Israeli military, coming just over a week after the Israeli Air Force gained nearly total superiority over Iranian airspace at the start of its air campaign June 13.

A short time ago, the US military carried out massive, precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime. Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.
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.
Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not. Future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier.
For 40 years, Iran has been saying. Death to America, death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs, with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We lost over 1,000 people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East, and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate in particular. So many were killed by their general, Qassim Soleimani. I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue.
I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we’ve gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they’ve done.
And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight, and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.
Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.
Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that’s so. I also want to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan “Razin” Caine, spectacular general, and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.
With all of that being said, 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. Tonight’s was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes. There’s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight. Not even close. There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago.
Tomorrow, General Caine, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will have a press conference at 8 a.m. at the Pentagon. And I want to just thank everybody. And, in particular, God. I want to just say, we love you, God, and we love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel, and God bless America.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
