Trump Israeli Strike on Iran Excellent More Attacks Expected

U.S. President Donald Trump described Israel’s strike on Iran as “excellent”, telling ABC News that “more attacks are on the way.” He added: “We gave them a chance, and they didn’t take it… They were hit hard, very hard… and there’s more to come—a lot more.” When asked whether the United States was involved in the attack, Trump replied: “I don’t want to comment on that.”
In another interview with CNN, Trump emphasized that the United States “clearly supports Israel,” adding: “We supported Israel like never before,” and described last night’s Israeli strikes on Iran as “highly successful.” He called on Tehran to come to the negotiating table “to reach a deal before it’s too late.”
The Financial Times, citing Israeli military officials, reported that the attack was prompted by Iran nearing the development of a nuclear bomb. The New York Times quoted Israeli sources saying the strike had been in planning for years, based on detailed intelligence about nuclear and military sites, as well as Iranian scientists and senior officials’ movements.
Commenting on the economic impact of the attack, Trump told the Wall Street Journal that Israel’s strike would have “a tremendous effect on markets,” as an Iranian nuclear weapon would have “threatened humanity.”
On the Iranian side, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian sent a letter to the UN Security Council, warning that “Israel will deeply regret its reckless aggression and grave miscalculation.” He stressed that Iran would respond “firmly and proportionately to Israel’s unlawful and cowardly acts.” He warned that failure to respond would only embolden Israel and lead to further chaos, calling on the Security Council and the UN Secretary-General to condemn what he described as an act that “crossed all red lines.”
