Trump Orders Military Strike on Iran to Halt Nuclear and Missile Programs
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he has ordered a military strike on Iran, aimed at halting its nuclear program and 'rapidly developing' ballistic missile projects. Trump described this as the 'last and best chance' and stated that the military operation is proceeding smoothly, without providing specific details. He emphasized that an Iran with long-range missiles and nuclear weapons would pose an unacceptable threat to the Middle East and the United States. Trump claimed that the U.S. military has sunk 10 Iranian ships and expressed confidence in the ongoing action. The objectives of the operation include destroying Iran's missile capabilities, eliminating its naval forces, preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons, and stopping its support for armed groups in the region.
