Washington (dpa) — US President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened Iran with further attacks if Tehran does not seek peace, following an attack on nuclear facilities in the country.
“There will be either peace, or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we’ve witnessed over the last eight days,” Trump said in an address to the nation from the White House.
“Remember, there are many targets left,” the US president continued.
Trump said that US strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Tehran’s “key nuclear enrichment facilities.”
The US president said that Iran “must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater, and a lot easier.”
Just over two hours earlier, Trump had announced that US aircraft had attacked three nuclear sites in Iran, including Natanz, Esfahan and the Fordow uranium enrichment facility – widely believed to be one of Israel’s most critical targets in its ongoing conflict with Iran.
Israel launched a campaign on June 13, saying it is aimed at preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon – a charge that Tehran has consistently denied, saying its nuclear programme only serves civilian purposes.
