Donald Trump issued a strong warning following military strikes carried out by the United States and Israel against Iran. He said the action was necessary to protect American security interests in West Asia. Trump stated that a broad military campaign is underway to weaken Iran’s military capability, raising fears of further regional escalation.
Trump Confirms Massive US Military Operation
In an approximately eight-minute video message shared on social media, Trump confirmed that the United States has launched a “massive and ongoing” military operation against Iran. He clarified that the strike was not a limited action but part of a broader strategy aimed at dismantling Iran’s missile production capacity and potential nuclear programme. The US administration claims the operation is a preventive measure to eliminate emerging security threats.
Accusations Against Iranian Regime
The US President accused the Iranian leadership of posing a continuous threat to international security. Trump said Iran has been engaged in aggressive activities against the United States and its allies for years. He added that targeting Iran’s missile infrastructure and nuclear facilities would help prevent future threats. Trump also reiterated that the United States remains committed to protecting its citizens, troops and partner nations.

47-Year Hostility and Nuclear Warnings
Trump also referred to the nearly 47-year-long hostility between the United States and Iran. He claimed that the Iranian regime has repeatedly chanted anti-American slogans and has been accused of promoting violence and terrorism in several parts of the world. He further alleged that Iran follows repressive policies against its own citizens and supports global terrorist networks.
The US President said Washington had previously warned Iran against resuming nuclear activities and had attempted diplomatic negotiations multiple times without success. He reiterated that his administration would not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons under any circumstances. If Iran attempts to advance its nuclear programme, the United States would respond with stronger military action.
Messages to Iran Forces and Public
Addressing the military campaign, Trump also sent a message to Iranian armed forces, saying that soldiers who distance themselves from the regime’s aggressive policies could be granted protection and immunity. However, he warned that those continuing to support the regime could face severe consequences. Trump described the operation as a necessary step to safeguard US national security.
Trump also addressed the Iranian public, stating that the situation could become an opportunity for change. He said the latest developments might become a turning point towards stability and freedom in West Asia. In his statement, Trump said, “The hour of freedom is near.”
The announcement has triggered global concern as rising US-Iran tensions could potentially escalate into a wider regional conflict. Analysts believe that further deterioration of the situation could impact global energy markets, international diplomacy and worldwide security stability.
The US administration said the military campaign is a preventive operation, but the possibility of an Iranian response has kept the situation highly tense. Several countries have called on both sides to exercise restraint and seek resolution through dialogue.
