SAEDNEWS: U.S. President Donald Trump sparks international outrage after likening American airstrikes on Iran to the atomic bombings of Japan and threatening future assaults.
According to Saed News, speaking on the sidelines of the NATO summit in the Netherlands, Donald Trump once again proved that diplomacy—at least in his lexicon—often resembles a televised monologue more than a statecraft manual. In an eyebrow-scorching statement, Trump declared that the recent American strikes on Iran were “as successful as Hiroshima and Nagasaki” and warned that any further uranium enrichment would prompt another bombing campaign.
“The ceasefire between Iran and Israel is a very good thing,” Trump began, momentarily donning the mantle of peacemaker before slipping back into the familiar cadence of nuclear bravado. He claimed Israel had recalled fighter jets mid-mission after Iran’s retaliatory missile barrage, admitting that Tel Aviv had suffered “significant losses.” Nevertheless, Trump insisted that the United States had achieved a “good victory” over Iran—despite his own intelligence agencies quietly acknowledging otherwise.
“I don’t think they’ll be able to recover anything from their nuclear facilities,” Trump boasted, adding that “whatever Israel didn’t destroy, we did.” His comments, delivered with characteristic flourish, seemed to ignore widespread reports indicating the resilience of key Iranian nuclear infrastructure.
True to form, he lambasted American media outlets—specifically CNN—for reporting on the failures of the strikes, calling their coverage “fake news” and labeling it “a disgrace.” He went on to suggest that the American assault had not only decimated Iran’s nuclear program but also ushered in a broader regional peace, claiming it “ended the war between Iran and Israel” just as America’s atomic bombs had once “ended the war with Japan.”
If the analogy raised diplomatic heart rates across Europe and Asia, Trump appeared unbothered. He briefly noted his discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, to whom he reportedly said, “We need your help on Ukraine, not Iran.” One could only imagine Putin’s smirk.
Trump then made a cryptic segue to Gaza, teasing “good news” and “significant progress,” which he attributed—somewhat implausibly—to the airstrikes on Iran. He claimed the assault had “helped with the release of hostages from Gaza,” leaving observers to decipher the tangled logic connecting Tehran’s centrifuges to Hamas's tunnels.
Meanwhile, Iranian officials have confirmed that the attacks by Israel on June 23 and the subsequent U.S. strikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan constituted an unprecedented act of aggression. The coordinated bombardments reportedly claimed the lives of military personnel, nuclear scientists, and civilians alike, violating Iran’s sovereignty and, arguably, several pillars of international law.
As the radioactive dust settles—figuratively if not literally—the world is left pondering whether Trump’s statements were a strategic declaration or just another entry in the ever-growing compendium of his unfiltered rhetoric. Either way, the comparison to Hiroshima landed with a diplomatic thud, serving less as a deterrent and more as a grim reminder that history, when repeated by amateurs, tends to be less tragedy and more farce.
