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 its 'rapidly developing' ballistic missile project. Trump described this as the 'last and best chance,' and stated that the military operation is progressing well, though he did not provide specific details. He emphasized that an Iran with nuclear weapons and long-range missiles would pose a threat to the Middle East and the United States. According to Trump, the U.S. military has sunk 10 Iranian ships, and he expressed confidence in the success of the operation. The objectives of the action include destroying Iran's missile capabilities, weakening its naval forces, preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons, and stopping Iran from supporting armed groups in the region.
