US President Donald Trump’s address to the nation on Sunday (June 22, 2025) was marked by praises for the “Great American Patriots.” The formal address comes after the Republican announced that America has carried out a ‘very successful attack’ on three nuclear sites of Iran – Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The recent US military action follows Trump’s earlier hint at joining Israel against Iran. His surprise announcement comes hours after he said that the US had opened a two-week window for diplomacy.
During the brief address today at 0200 GMT (7.30 a.m. IST), Trump said, “Tonight I can report to the world, the strikes were a spectacular military success.” He announced that top officials – “Gen. Caine, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will hold a news conference Sunday at 8 am in the Pentagon.” Meanwhile, Trump claimed that Iran’s key nuclear facilities were ‘totally obliterated’ in US strikes

On US strikes against Iran, President Donald Trump 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…”
