Trump: “That Thing Ended That War, This Thing Ended This War”

President Donald Trump on Wednesday drew a direct comparison between the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, claiming the latter effectively ended the 12-day Iran-Israel war. He asserted that the American military action was the decisive factor in halting hostilities.
Trump argued that the severe impact of the US strikes, coupled with Iran’s experience of “hell” during the conflict, had compelled them to abandon their nuclear weapons ambitions. He dismissed intelligence reports that indicated a limited impact of the strikes, maintaining the complete destruction of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The conflict was initiated by Israel’s bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, driven by concerns about nuclear proliferation. Iran consistently denied these claims, asserting its nuclear program was for peaceful purposes. The ensuing 12 days were marked by intense exchanges of fire, causing widespread damage and casualties.
A ceasefire, reportedly brokered by Trump, was holding. His remarks highlight his belief in the immediate and decisive power of military intervention in resolving international conflicts.
