- The attack is limited and does not constitute a wide-scale war... We will strike nuclear facilities again if anyone attempts to access them
US President Donald Trump announced that the United States carried out a limited strike last night targeting an Iranian air defense facility, emphasizing that the operation does not represent a broad war with Tehran.
Trump said in comments to Fox News that US forces monitored construction at the facility for two months before destroying it immediately upon its completion.
He added that what is happening with Iran “is not a war in the traditional sense,” stressing that the United States has full control of the situation and that Tehran has been placed in the position desired by Washington, with the continued ability to launch further strikes if deemed necessary.
Regarding Iran’s nuclear program, Trump affirmed that the United States is continuously monitoring Iranian nuclear facilities, warning that they would be targeted again if anyone attempted to access them.
He noted that Washington is capable of eliminating Iran’s remaining capabilities, while at the same time avoiding the loss of thousands of lives.
He said he does not seek to kill large numbers of people in Iran following the elections, but affirmed the United States’ readiness to take necessary action if forced to do so.
In a related context, Trump stated that the United States should extract greater concessions from Iran than it obtained from Venezuela.
