Trump says Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities ‘totally obliterated'
US President Donald Trump delivered a televised speech from the White House early today, June 22 on the US airstrike on Iranian nuclear sites.
He explained that Washington launched attacks on three major nuclear sites in Iran. The strikes were a spectacular military success.
Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.
He called on Iran to quickly bring peace or said the US would go after other targets with "speed" and "precision".
'I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel,' Trump added.

Iran Says it Cannot Return to Diplomacy while Under Attack
Iran reserves all options to defend its security, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday, adding that Tehran could not return to diplomacy while under attack by Israel and the United States, and would consult with Russia on Monday. "The US showed they have no respect for international law. They only understand the language of threat and force," Araghchi said, adding that Tehran has to respond based on its rights before diplomacy can be reconsidered. The Iranian foreign minister said he will fly to Russia, with whom Iran has a strategic partnership, and consult with President Vladimir Putin on Monday. The United States attacked three sites in Iran early Sunday. Iran's Foreign Ministry said Washington had 'betrayed diplomacy' with the military strikes in support of Israel, and said that 'the US has itself launched a dangerous war against Iran.'
