Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history.
This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge — and a direct threat to international peace and security.
"We acknowledge developments in the last 24 hours, including President Trump's announcement of US strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran.
"We strongly condemn the US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities, which constitutes a dangerous escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.
WASHINGTON — US forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites in a "very successful attack," President Donald Trump said on Saturday (June 21), adding that Tehran's nuclear programme had been obliterated.
Trump said US forces struck Iran's three principal nuclear sites: Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow.
"A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow," Trump posted.
Israel launched the attacks on Iran saying that it wanted to remove any chance of Tehran developing nuclear weapons.

Michael Jackson's fixation on cosmetic surgery and appearance was sparked by childhood humiliation at the hands of his father, a new book claims.
He said: "In 1964, Michael, who was six years old and driven to sing and dance, went to work.
Michael would remember years later that his father didn't praise his singing ability after that first performance or his magical moves.".
That early criticism, John writes, "planted the seeds for future plastic surgery adventures in the name of finding true 'beauty'.".
CAIRO — Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation said on Sunday (June 22) it would not allow the development of its "national industry" — an apparent reference to the country's nuclear development — to be stopped.
It also said the attacks on its nuclear sites violate international law, without clarifying the extent of the damage from the US strikes that President Donald Trump announced earlier.
