The strikes aimed to neutralize Iran&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-tulsi-gabbard-wrong-on-iran-nuclear-bomb-intelligence\/\" title=\"...: Tulsi Gabbard &#039;wrong&#039; on Iran nuclear bomb intelligence\">nuclear enrichment capabilities<\/a>,which Trump described as a threat from a nation he labeled as the &#8220;world&#8217;s number one state sponsor of terror.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Trump asserted that the attacks had &#8220;wholly and totally obliterated&#8221; Iran&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >key nuclear sites<\/a>. He emphasized that Iran must now pursue peace, warning that failure to do so would result in more severe retaliation. He praised the United States military&#8217;s execution of the operation and expressed gratitude towards Israeli cooperation in the strikes.Trump concluded his speech with messages of peace while underscoring the need for caution against Iran&#8217;s historical animosity towards the U.S. and Israel. <\/p>\n<p>Vice President J.D. Vance and other senior officials were present during the address but did not speak. Trump indicated that further details would be provided in a press conference the following morning.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=C7eSJ011Muc\">the white house \/ youtube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/21\/trump-addresses-u-s-following-attacks-on-irans-nuclear-facilities\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Trump%20Addresses%20U.S.%20Following%20Attacks%20On%20Iran%E2%80%99s%20Nuclear%20Facilities&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/21\/trump-addresses-u-s-following-attacks-on-irans-nuclear-facilities\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Trump%20Addresses%20U.S.%20Following%20Attacks%20On%20Iran%E2%80%99s%20Nuclear%20Facilities&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/21\/trump-addresses-u-s-following-attacks-on-irans-nuclear-facilities\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/21\/trump-addresses-u-s-following-attacks-on-irans-nuclear-facilities\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Trump%20Addresses%20U.S.%20Following%20Attacks%20On%20Iran%E2%80%99s%20Nuclear%20Facilities&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/21\/trump-addresses-u-s-following-attacks-on-irans-nuclear-facilities\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print();

Standing behind him were Vice President J.D. Vance, Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Sec. of State Marco Rubio, none of whom spoke. Trump said Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine would hold a press conference at the Pentagon 8 a.m. Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier,&rdquo; Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said that Iran, for decades, &ldquo;has been saying, &lsquo;Death to America, Death to Israel,&#8217;&rdquo; and that &ldquo;hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue,&rdquo; Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said his administration worked &ldquo;as a team&rdquo; with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and offered thanks to the Israeli military. He also recognized the &ldquo;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,&rdquo; adding, &ldquo;Hopefully, we will no longer need their services at this capacity.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[T]his 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,&rdquo; Trump said. &ldquo;Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight&rsquo;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&rsquo;s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump ended his brief comments by thanking God.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;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.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Beth Brelje is an elections correspondent for The Federalist.
