Donald Trump on Iran Attack: “It Was Like Hiroshima-Nagasaki, But…” – Former US President’s Shocking Revelation

Trump's shocking revelation about the end of the Israel-Iran war
Published on

Former US President Donald Trump has once again stirred global attention with his controversial remarks, this time comparing the recent Israel-Iran conflict to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. Speaking to the media after the NATO summit in The Hague, Trump made a startling statement about the United States’ role in the war and its consequences for Iran.

"I don’t want to give the example of Hiroshima, but the attacks on Iran were like Hiroshima-Nagasaki," Trump said. He claimed that the war between Israel and Iran ended only after the United States launched strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. “The war is over now. Both countries have announced a ceasefire. I don’t think Iran and Israel will attack each other again,” he added.

US Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites

During the 12-day-long Israel-Iran conflict, the United States reportedly carried out coordinated airstrikes on three major Iranian nuclear sites—Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. According to Trump, these attacks dealt a significant blow to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

"Their nuclear sites were completely destroyed, and their program has been set back significantly," Trump claimed. He asserted that the U.S. intervention played a decisive role in halting Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Iran's Retaliation and the Human Cost

Following the U.S. airstrikes, Iran retaliated by targeting American military bases in Qatar and Iraq. At least 10 missiles were reportedly launched toward U.S. positions in Qatar, and several bases in Iraq also came under attack. However, Trump downplayed the damage, stating, "We did not suffer any losses in this attack."

Despite the U.S. dismissal, the 12-day war resulted in considerable casualties on both sides. Reports indicate that approximately 800 people were killed in Iran, while 24 to 30 people lost their lives in Israel.

A Fragile Peace?

While Trump expressed hope that the ceasefire would hold, international observers remain cautious. The severity of the strikes and the high death toll have left the region on edge, with many questioning whether this fragile peace will endure.

As global leaders analyze the aftermath and implications of the conflict, Trump’s Hiroshima comparison continues to spark debate and criticism, especially over its historical sensitivity and diplomatic impact.
