Trump’s Next Steps:
President Trump, in a televised address, called the strikes a “spectacular success” and urged Iran to negotiate peace to avoid further attacks, warning,
“If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.”
He emphasized no ground forces will be used but hinted at readiness for more strikes if Iran retaliates, with the U.S. military on high alert.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the use of B-2 bombers and bunker-buster bombs, stating the U.S. remains “fully postured” to respond. Trump’s social media posts suggest he’s pushing for a nuclear deal but is prepared to escalate if talks fail.
