WASHINGTON: A transcript of President Donald Trump’s speech on US airstrikes on Iran on Saturday as transcribed by The Associated Press: Thank you very much. A short time ago, the US military carried out massive, precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime. Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan. Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror.

The US has launched strikes on Iran, bombing three of the country’s nuclear facilities.

In a short speech after strikes on facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, the president says Tehran must make peace with Israel or face ‘far greater’ attacks
