He assures “not wanting to take this example”, but ends up making the comparison. Donald Trump said on Wednesday, June 25 that the strikes led by the United States in Iranian nuclear sites made it possible to “end the war” between Iran and Israel, which attracted a parallel to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagazaki.
“I do not want to use the example of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but it is a bit the same as we did there, our strike ended the war, if that had not been the case that we had continued with the strikes,” said the US president before the press in Haye (Netherlands), where he is on the top of NATO.
“If you start again, let’s hit, but I don’t have to worry, it will take them for years, it is very difficult to rebuild,” he added.
In August 1945, American bombers had dropped the bomb in Hiroshima and then Nagasaki in Japan, causing the death of some 214,000 people. These bombings had led to the capitulation of Japan and at the end of World War II.
A “total” destruction of nuclear sites?
The fire between Iran and Israel was negotiated on Tuesday, June 24, after 12 days of war. The Israeli Brigade General Effie Defrin said that Israel had “blown” the Iranian nuclear program during the war, but that “I was still early to evaluate the results of the operation.”
On Tuesday, the dissemination of an American confidential intelligence document had sown doubts about the effectiveness of strikes carried out during the night from Saturday to Sunday by the United States in the three main Iranian nuclear sites, in support of Israel.
The US president, who started the high fire, said in front of the press that the strikes had caused the “total” destruction of Iranian nuclear sites, delayed the program for several “decades” and that Iran was not going to “make bombs before a long time.”
