Trump announces historic speech after successful Iran attack

US President Donald Trump makes global headlines by announcing an address to the nation on the evening of June 22, 2025. The speech, scheduled to take place at 10 p.m. local time (4 a.m. CEST), will cover a "highly successful military operation in Iran." Trump describes this moment as a “HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL AND THE ENTIRE WORLD,” drawing global focus to the tense geopolitical situation. Antenne Münster reports a “very successful attack” on three critical Iranian facilities.

This attack particularly targeted the underground uranium enrichment facility in Fordo as well as the sites in Natans and Isfahan. Trump made it clear that all US aircraft involved had safely left Iranian airspace and called on Iran to end the war. He stressed that a “full load of bombs” had been dropped on the Fordo facility. Iran has not yet issued an official confirmation of the attack, nor has the U.S. Department of Defense commented. Tagesschau added that Tehran had previously threatened attacks on US forces in the Middle East.

Ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran

The situation in the Middle East remains tense as Israel and Iran have repeatedly exchanged fire in recent weeks. There were deaths and injuries on both sides. Israel justifies its military actions with the aim of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, while Iran asserts that its nuclear program serves peaceful purposes. Despite the efforts of Western states to defuse the conflict, these have so far been unsuccessful, as the [Tagesschau] report highlights.

The uranium enrichment plant in Fordo, which is located about a hundred meters underground, is particularly strategically important. Experts point out that only the United States has the conventional means to destroy such low-lying facilities with GBU-57 bunker-busting bombs. Iran is reported to have significantly increased its inventory of uranium enriched to 60 percent in recent months; However, an enrichment level of around 90 percent is required to produce nuclear weapons. This development is being closely monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Trump’s upcoming speech could have not only political but also military consequences. The world is looking forward to the messages the President will deliver and what decisions will be made in the coming days.
