Five months ago, President Donald Trump promised to be a peacemaker and a unifier. Tonight, the United States attacked Iran, hitting three nuclear sites in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
In his inauguration speech on Jan. 20, 2025, Trump told Americans: “We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end - and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”
He called his proudest legacy that of a “peacemaker and a unifier.” Now, that legacy is under sharp scrutiny.
The U.S. launched a direct military strike on Iran for the first time since the start of the Israel-Iran war earlier this month.
Trump confirmed the action in a Truth Social post, saying the operation dropped a “full load of BOMBS on the primary site, Fordow.”
