US President Donald Trump on Saturday (Jun 21) said that US air strikes had "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities, as he threatened more attacks if Tehran does not make peace. In his first late-night address to the nation following the United States' strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, Trump said, “There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days." He cautioned Iran and asked the nation to “Remember there are many targets left,” and said that "If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.”

Calling the strikes a 'spectacular military success, ' Trump said that “Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.”

Trump, who is fond of coming up with nicknames, then called Iran "the bully of the Middle East" and said that the nation "must now make peace." He added that if Tehran does not fall into line, “future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.”
Trump also mentioned Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, a shadowy figure who was slain in a 2020 US drone strike. "And hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate, in particular, so many were killed by their general Qasem Soleimani".
While just a day earlier, on Friday (Jun 21) Trump had given Iran a "maximum" two-week warning, in his address to the nation the POTUS said that he had "decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue."
He also congratulated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu and said, “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.”
He ended his brief speech with an ominous warning for Iran, saying, "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," he said.
