Donald Trump compared the US military’s strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran to the bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on which nuclear bombs were dropped in 1945. 

As Censor.NET reports , the US president said this  while talking to journalists on the sidelines of the NATO summit in The Hague.

According to Trump, the American strikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities set Iran’s program back “decades.”

He also expressed his belief that after this, Iran will not engage in uranium enrichment.

The US president also believes that the US military’s strikes on Iran “ended the war”, mentioning in this context the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.

“This strike ended the war. I don’t want to use the example of Hiroshima, I don’t want to use the example of Nagasaki, but it’s essentially something like that – it ended that war. It ended the war (between Israel and Iran – ed.). If we hadn’t destroyed (the nuclear facilities), they would be fighting right now,” Trump added. 

Recall, Israel and Iran entered into open conflict on June 13, when Israel launched airstrikes on Iran’s top military leadership, uranium enrichment facilities, and Iran’s ballistic missile program.

In response to the Israeli attacks, Iran launched more than 550 ballistic missiles and about 1,000 drones into Israel . The missiles hit residential buildings, a university, and a hospital, causing significant damage.

Iran launched several waves of ballistic missiles toward Israel on the morning of June 24. The launch of the missiles came after US President Donald Trump said that Iran and Israel had allegedly agreed to a ceasefire. There were casualties as a result of the attack.

It later emerged that Iran had launched missiles towards Israel. The IDF is preparing a response.

US President Donald Trump claims that both Iran and Israel violated the ceasefire.
