‘There will be an attack again tonight…’: What did US President Donald Trump say at the NATO summit after the ceasefire with Iran ended?

Amidst the ongoing tension in West Asia, US President Donald Trump has made a big announcement. During the NATO summit held in Ankara, Trump clearly said that the interim agreement (ceasefire) with Iran has now completely ended. He strongly rebuked the Iranian leadership and indicated that the US military could launch another devastating air strike on Iran tonight itself.

Fierce military confrontation between America and Iran

In fact, this dispute deepened when Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to target about 85 US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. In response, the US Central Command retaliated by bombing more than 80 strategic and military targets of Iran. Iran’s air defense systems, radar sites and several IRGC military boats were destroyed in the US strikes.

Changing government is not the aim, ban on nuclear weapons continues

Trump said in the presence of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that he was extremely upset with this behavior of the Iranians. However, he clarified that Washington does not want regime change in Tehran, but it will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons at any cost. Trump alleged that Iran’s leaders are deceitful and talks are just a waste of time.

Warning of destroying power plants and infrastructure

The US President warned that America has not yet attacked Iran at its most lethal level. He said, “If Iran does not stop its actions, we will completely destroy their infrastructure like power plants and water treatment plants. I do not want to do this, but if necessary, the US military will not step back.”

Big mistake during speech: Iran was called ‘Islamic Republic of Japan’

During this very serious NATO summit, Donald Trump also got embroiled in a funny controversy. Referring to the missile attacks on the American aircraft carrier (USS Abraham Lincoln), he said ‘Islamic Republic of Japan’ instead of Iran. “The Islamic Republic of Japan fired 111 missiles at us, which were shot down by our Patriot systems,” Trump said. The video of Trump’s major gaffe is going viral on social media and people are raising questions on his increasing age and memory.
