President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that Iran “had it” with nuclear enrichment after enduring the 12-day war with Israel, attributing this shift to US strikes on its nuclear sites. He controversially likened the impact of these strikes to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Trump stated that Iran “went through hell” during the conflict, which he believes led them to abandon their nuclear weapons program. He expressed confidence that Iran would not pursue enrichment again, despite intelligence reports suggesting a limited impact of the strikes.
The conflict originated with Israeli bombings of Iranian nuclear facilities, citing concerns about their nuclear program. Iran maintained its nuclear activities were peaceful. The 12 days of hostilities led to significant damage and loss of life.
A ceasefire, reportedly brokered by Trump, was holding, though he had previously expressed dissatisfaction with early violations. Trump’s remarks offer a characteristically blunt assessment of Iran’s post-conflict intentions.
