President Trump warns of renewed military action if Iran resumes uranium enrichment, following recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities
On June 27, 2025, President
Donald Trump stated that the United States would conduct additional airstrikes on Iran "without question" if intelligence indicates that Iran is continuing to enrich uranium to levels deemed concerning.
This declaration follows the U.S. military's Operation Midnight Hammer, which targeted Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan on June 22, 2025.
During a press briefing, President Trump emphasized the effectiveness of the recent strikes, asserting that Iran's nuclear capabilities had been significantly diminished.
He also addressed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's claims of victory, labeling them as false and highlighting the damage inflicted on Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
In response to the U.S. airstrikes, Iran launched missile attacks on the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on June 23, 2025.
The majority of these missiles were intercepted, and no casualties were reported.
President Trump further announced the cessation of efforts to lift sanctions on Iran, citing the country's continued defiance and rhetoric.
He expressed support for international inspections of the bombed nuclear sites but noted Iran's resistance to such measures.
The situation remains tense, with global leaders expressing concern over the potential for further escalation in the region.
The international community continues to monitor developments closely, emphasizing the importance of diplomatic solutions to address the ongoing nuclear dispute.
