US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (local time) expressed his satisfaction in stopping “THE WAR” between Iran and Israel, asserting that it was his “great honour” to destroy all of Iran’s nuclear facilities and capabilities before brokering a ceasefire between the two nations.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump noted that both Israel and Iran “equally” wanted the conflict to end.
“Both Israel and Iran wanted to stop the War, equally! It was my great honour to Destroy All Nuclear facilities & capability, and then, STOP THE WAR,” he stated in his post.
This came following a series of escalating military actions in the region when Israel initially conducted coordinated strikes against Iranian nuclear and military sites on June 13.
Following this, Iran retaliated with strikes on Israeli military infrastructure, and the US joined the conflict with precision strikes on Iran’s three key nuclear facilities–Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
Earlier, Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between the two conflict-gripped nations after Iran attacked US military bases in Qatar and Iran in response to the US strikes on its nuclear facilities.
