'There will be either peace or tragedy': What Trump said in first address post attack on Iran N-sites

Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump on June 21 warned Iran that America will go after more targets “if peace does not come quickly”.

Trump issued the warning during his first address to the nation after America struck Tehran’s nuclear three nuclear sites, joining Israel’s war and fueling a major escalation in the region.

“If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill,” Trump said in address flanked by Vice President JD Vance, secretary of state Marco Rubio and defence secretary Pete Hegeseth.

“Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated,” he said.

Calling Iran the “bully of Middle East”, Trump said it must now make peace and warned if they do not, “future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.”

He further said, “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.”

Earlier in the day, US forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites in a "very successful attack," President Donald Trump said on Saturday, adding that the crown jewel of Tehran's nuclear program, Fordow, is gone.

Trump said US forces struck Iran's three principal nuclear sites: Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow. He told Fox News six bunker-buster bombs were dropped on Fordow, while 30 Tomahawk missiles were fired against other nuclear sites.
