The United States carried out a huge military strike targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, in an operation that the US Chief of Staff described as “the strongest in our history”, with the participation of more than 125 military aircraft. The process was carried out in complete secrecy and with the least amount of communications.
Destruction of Fordo and Iran’s nuclear programs
The US Secretary of Defense confirmed that the strikes led to the complete destruction of the Fordo nuclear facility, and that Iran’s nuclear ambitions were “eliminated”, adding that “the Iranian nuclear program was completely destroyed.” He also explained that the operation included three main facilities, and its result was “amazing success.”
An accurate blow and a long -term plan
The Minister of Defense stated that the military plan lasted for months of preparation, and a “accurate blow” was carried out aimed at limiting nuclear capabilities, without intention to change the regime in Tehran. He pointed out that the Trump administration believes in “peace through power”, and that Iran’s ambitions were “softened and destroyed.”
Iranian messages and a possible American response
The US Vice President said that Washington has received indirect messages from Iran and shows its willingness to respond if Tehran made any retaliatory step, stressing that the “United States is ready” for any scenario. He also pointed out that Iran’s missile program “proved its failure.”
An invitation to conditional dialogue
The US Vice President has announced that his country “would like to speak with Iran about a long -term settlement,” indicating the possibility of opening diplomacy if Tehran decides to back away from escalation.
