Trump announces historic attack on Iranian nuclear facilities!

Late Saturday evening, local time (4 a.m. CEST), US President Donald Trump will address the nation to report on an "extremely successful military operation in Iran." In his speech, he described this moment as a “historic moment for the United States of America, Israel and the entire world.” Daily Mirror reported.

Trump announced that the US had attacked nuclear facilities in Iran, including the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordo. The attack was “very successful” and dropped a “full load of bombs” on Fordo. All US aircraft involved safely exited Iranian airspace, meaning increased security for the crews involved, they said daily news.

Conflict between Iran and Israel

Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated significantly in recent weeks. Israel justifies its airstrikes with the aim of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, while Iran claims that its nuclear program serves peaceful purposes. This is leading to dangerous tactics in the region, especially after the Iranian news agency Tasnim reported that parts of the Fordow nuclear facility were attacked.

Tehran has already threatened retaliatory attacks on US forces in the Middle East. The Israeli attacks that took place last week have resulted in deaths and injuries on both sides. In addition, Iran has significantly increased its stock of uranium enriched to 60 percent, while an enrichment level of around 90 percent is required to build nuclear weapons South German newspaper can be seen.

Future prospects and negotiations

While Trump expresses pessimism about negotiations with Iran and calls the Iranian stance “unacceptable,” the US government is also planning to withdraw some staff from the embassy in Baghdad to avoid possible retaliation. Trump emphasizes that he is seeking a new deal that ensures that Iran cannot develop a nuclear weapon.

But the challenges remain great. Tehran announces that it will submit a counterproposal and insists on the right to enrich uranium. On the other hand, it is unclear whether Iran will be allowed to continue enriching or whether it will be forced to dismantle all facilities. The picture is further complicated by the possibility of activation of the snapback mechanism by European countries, which could lead to renewed UN sanctions against Iran.

Given these developments, it remains to be seen what reactions will follow Trump's address and whether the situation will de-escalate.
