US President Donald Trump has said he was already aware of Israeli air raids on Iran, emphasizing that Tehran has expressed hopefulness about “nuclear bombs” and restoring diplomatic talks.
His comments came in the wake of a massive Israeli aggression overnight, targeting about 100 locations in Iran, including nuclear and military installations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that the Nutson nuclear facility consisted of these places.
Iranian media reported the killing of key military personnel, including revolutionary guard Hussein Salami and Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Mohammad Baghri.
Responding to the strikes, Iran’s top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called the Israeli operation a “crime” made by “devilish, bloody hands”. He warned that Israel should expect a “severe punishment” and that “the powerful arm of the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces would not allow them to be punished.”
Khamenei added, “The Zionist government has created a bitter, painful luck for itself.”
Possibly the region’s curves for Iranian retaliation, the global powers are closely viewed, and the growing fluctuations emphasize patience during all emergencies in the Middle East.
However, Trump said “Iran could not have a nuclear bomb” and is hoping to return to the US -talking table. He also called for preparations to defend himself and Israel in the event of an Iranian retaliation. Although the Trump administration allegedly informed a Middle East ally before the strike, it reiterated that the United States was not directly involved.
“We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting US forces in the region,” Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio echoed. He added a rigorous warning: “Iran should not target US interests or personnel.”
Trump is ready to discuss the situation attending the National Security Council meeting on Friday morning.

It has warned that these provocations “have a serious threat and a serious threat to the entire region and beyond peace, security and stability.”
