President Trump Ends Threat of a Nuclear Armed Iranian Regime
The most powerful military in the history of the world, the US Military, executed massive precision strikes on three of the Iranian regime’s key nuclear facilities, in the process of carrying out President Trump’s command on Saturday June 21, 2025. The mission was described as an overwhelming success. The situation was urgent, given the Iranian regime was weeks away from being able to produce a nuclear weapon that would threaten the entire world. Thus, President Trump took this decisive action to obliterate Iran’s nuclear capability. The name of the operation was: Operation Midnight Hammer.
Leaked Classified Initial Defense Agency Assessment
Despite the leaks from within the US to disparage the successful military actions, there is broad consensus that Iran’s nuclear capabilities were indeed destroyed. United States, Israel, the United Nations and Iran all agree that Iran can no longer build a nuclear weapon.
Ceasefire Secures a Peaceful Detente
Immediately after the US Strikes, President Trump secures a peaceful outcome within 14 hours after the devastating strikes on Iran’s nuclear weapon sites. President Trump and his team brokered an historic ceasefire between Israel and Iran and officially ended the 12-day war.
US Foreign Policy Under President Trump
US will not be dragged into endless foreign wars. Thus, the Middle East is moving towards a new era of peace and stability that President Trump has long called on them to achieve. His posture is “Peace thru’ Strength.” Under President Trump America will advance its interests.
NATO Summit in the Netherlands- June 24-25, 2025
US allies have agreed to invest five percent of their GDP annually in defense, because President Trump demanded it. Consequently, the US will carry less of the financial burden and our NATO alliance will be stronger than ever before. Trillions of dollars are expected to be garnered from the upping of annual defense contributions. So far 31 of the 32 members of NATO have agreed to this new financial policy.
