President Trump and the NATO Secretary General spoke today about the Israel-Iran ceasefire at the NATO 2025 summit.
“I was ‘proud’ of Israel because they pulled their planes back,” he said, commenting on the exchange of hostilities a few hours after the beginning of the ceasefire.
Israel claimed not to have aborted the attack completely, but rather – at Trump’s request – limited it to a single Iranian installation.
Trump also claimed to be optimistic about the future of the deal: “I think we’ll have somewhat of a relationship with Iran.”
Trump commented on reports that Operation Midnight Hammer had not destroyed Iran’s stock of enriched uranium. “They didn’t have a chance to get anything out, because we acted fast. If it would have taken two weeks, maybe. But it’s very hard to remove that kind of material, very hard and very dangerous for them to remove it. P lus they knew we were coming, and if they know we’re coming, they’re not going to be down there.”
Regardless of the outcome of the deal, though, he was confident that Iran’s nuclear program has ended. “Israel has guys who go in there after the hit, and they say it was total obliteration. The last thing Iran wants to do is enrich anything.”
