In an address to the nation on Wednesday, Trump said {he} told Americans he’s “destroyed the Iran nuclear threat and ended the war in Gaza, bringing for the first time in 3,000 years, peace to the Middle East.”
The Israeli concerns about Iran come as Tehran has expressed interest in resuming diplomatic talks with the U.S. aimed at curtailing its nuclear deal, which could potentially complicate Israel’s approaching Trump about new strikes.
The funding of Iranian proxies in the region also is top of mind for the Israelis, according to the person with direct knowledge of Israel’s plans.
“The nuclear weapons program is very concerning. There’s an attempt to reconstitute. It’s not that immediate,” this person said.
The strikes the U.S. conducted in June against Iran, known as Operation Midnight Hammer, included more than 100 aircraft, a submarine and seven B-2 bombers. Trump has said they “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites, though some early assessments indicated the damage may not have been as extensive as the president has said.
But Trump said just Wednesday of this week in such a grand personal way: he “destroyed the Iran nuclear threat and ended the war in Gaza, bringing for the first time in 3,000 years, peace to the Middle East.”

LLAW’s Thoughts, Concerns, and Fears about Today’s Nuclear World and beyond . . .
And so it is, the despicable and world -endangering Trump lies go on, including his declaration just Wednesday of this week that the “obliteration” of Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites that it’s laughable even if it was true! Yet Trump now continues to explain in such a grandiose self-aggrandizing way — he “destroyed the Iran nuclear threat and ended the war in Gaza, bringing for the first time in 3,000 years, peace to the Middle East.”
The proof is in the voice of another liar — Israel’s Netanyahu — who insists that Israel, (meaning the USA) must attack Iran again before the USA has a chance, which Trump believes to be unnecessary, to once again make such a nuclear agreement limiting the degree of nuclear enrichment Iran would be allowed to refine. This is the Obama agreement that worked fine for years until Trump tore it up ending the extension of that agreement when he began his first term as president. ~llaw
