It was my great honour to destroy all nuclear facilities...: Trump on stopping The War between Iran and Israel

Trump says he destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities before brokering a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, calling it his "great honour."

"It was my great honour to Destroy All Nuclear facilities & capability, and then, STOP THE WAR. – Donald Trump"

Washington DC, June 25

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 today, Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between the two conflict-gripped nations after Iran attacked US military bases in Qatar and Iraq in response to the US strikes on its nuclear facilities.

However, moments after the announcement, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) carried out a limited strike on an Iranian radar installation north of Tehran, following which Iran launched two ballistic missiles at Israel, as reported by The Times of Israel.

Trump expressed his strong disapproval of Israel and Iran "violating the ceasefire", he announced, and said that the two countries have been fighting "so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing."

Shortly after, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office in a statement noted that after a conversation between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel has "refrained" from further attacks on Iran.

Israeli Minister of Defence Israel Katz, in a post on X, commended the US President's decision and the collaboration with Israel during his conversation with US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth.

Katz also noted that Israel will "respect the ceasefire" if Iran keeps their part of the deal.

"I spoke moments ago with U.S. Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth. I thanked him for President Donald Trump bold decision to act with Israel against the Iranian nuclear threat. The Secretary praised Israel and the IDF for the historic achievements made. I emphasised that Israel will respect the ceasefire -- as long as the other side does. We agreed to deepen the close U.S.-Israel security cooperation," Katz stated on X.

The conflict between the two nations began on June 13 when Israel launched a large-scale airstrike targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities under "Operation Rising Lion". Iran responded by launching "Operation True Promise 3", a campaign involving missile and drone attacks against Israel's infrastructure.

This shows how dangerous nuclear proliferation can be. India has always maintained responsible nuclear policies while our neighbors like Pakistan have been reckless. Hope this conflict makes the world understand why India needs strong defense capabilities. 🇮🇳

While the ceasefire is good, Trump's language is so unprofessional! World leaders should show more maturity. India has always solved conflicts through dialogue - look at how we maintain peace with most neighbors despite challenges.

The Middle East conflict affects global oil prices which impacts our economy. Hope our government has contingency plans. Also makes me appreciate how stable India's foreign policy has been despite having difficult neighbors like China and Pakistan.

Why is America always playing world police? First Iraq, now Iran. They create more problems than they solve. India's non-aligned approach is much better for long-term peace. Hope our leaders continue this wise tradition 🙏

The real victims are civilians caught in middle. Reminds me of tensions at our borders. Hope both sides show restraint. India has suffered enough from terrorism sponsored by neighboring countries - we know the cost of conflict too well.

Interesting how quickly things escalated! Makes me appreciate our nuclear doctrine of 'No First Use'. Hope this situation doesn't affect Indians working in Gulf countries. Our government should be ready with evacuation plans if needed 🤞
