Washington erupted in cheers as President Donald Trump informed Congress of a monumental achievement: the total destruction of Iran’s nuclear arms program via ‘Operation Midnight Hammer.’ This audacious U.S. assault on Iranian soil marks a pivotal victory in countering proliferation.
Trump reaffirmed longstanding American resolve against a nuclear-armed Iran, the foremost patron of global terror. While favoring diplomatic paths, he pledged unyielding opposition. The mission aligns with his robust security framework—’peace through strength’—fueled by historic one-trillion-dollar military funding this year.
He lauded NATO partners for embracing a 5% GDP defense spend, a quantum leap from the 2% benchmark.
In Latin American updates, Trump revealed the rout of Venezuelan foes, Maduro’s ouster and prosecution, and collaborative economic revival with President Delsy Rodriguez.
Drug warriors gained new weapons: cartels as terrorists, fentanyl as WMD. Maritime and terrestrial blockades have virtually eliminated its flow.
Trump’s address peaked with proud enumeration of eight wars concluded early in his term—spanning Cambodia-Thailand, Pakistan-India, Kosovo-Serbia, Israel-Iran. Intense work continues on halting the Russia-Ukraine carnage, the ninth front.
