WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – America’s airstrikes on Iran will likely dominate the agenda at the upcoming NATO Summit.
President Donald Trump says Iran’s nuclear sites were “completely obliterated.” But the big question at the upcoming NATO Summit here in the Netherlands is what comes next?
The airstrikes carried out with cruise missiles and by B-2 stealth bombers – dropping bunker-buster bombs – marks the first time the U.S. has conducted a direct military attack on Iran. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth briefed reporters Sunday morning, “ …with the president gave us as I said, was a focused powerful and clear mission on the destruction of Iranian nuclear capabilities. Those were the targets that’s what was struck. That was overwhelming, that was what was overwhelming.”
Iran has promised retaliation on U.S. interests, with Iran’s Foreign Minister saying his country reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people.
Addressing the Nation from the White House, President Trump had this stark warning:
“Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not. Future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier.”
Some of America’s NATO allies praised the military operation with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer now calling on Iran to resume negotiations and reach a diplomatic solution.
The U.S. and most NATO members maintain that Iran must not be permitted to develop a nuclear weapon. NATO leaders will discuss the latest developments in Iran when the NATO Summit gets underway on Tuesday.
President Trump is scheduled to travel to the Netherlands for the NATO summit on Tuesday.
