Trump Drops Hiroshima-Nagasaki Analogy on Iran Over Strikes
US president, Trump, analogizes America's strike on Iran to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. - United States military strike on Iran likened to atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by Trump
Hey there! Let's dive into some hot news. Donald Trump, our current US president, has made a bold comparison during a recent NATO summit. Following the U.S. strikes on Iran using bunker-busting bombs, Trump declared a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, which has been in effect since Tuesday. When questioned about the potential resumption of attacks, Trump quipped, "It could perhaps start again soon."
However, Trump's words didn't stop there. He also dismissed media reports on the damage in Iran as "fake news." CNN and the New York Times, based on preliminary US intelligence reports, stated that the strikes had only slowed down Iran's nuclear program by a few months and didn't entirely destroy their centrifuges and enriched uranium. But guess what? Trump insisted that the nuclear facilities were "completely wiped out."
Well, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth weighed in on the matter, stating that due to the immense destruction caused by the bombs, a "very large shovel" was needed to reach the facilities. But let's be real – that's just the intel we got so far.
Now, here's the kicker: Trump went on to compare the U.S. strikes on Iran to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, stating, "This was essentially the same thing: that ended that war; this ended the war." Needless to say, Japan wasn't too pleased with this, considering the profound human suffering caused by the bombings[2][3].
So, there you have it. Trump explicitly stated that the U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear sites were comparable to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but according to Pentagon analysis, the strikes only slowed down Iran's nuclear program for a few months. As we gather more intel, we'll make sure to keep you in the loop!
