United
States President Donald Trump has announced that no American was harmed in
missile attacks by Iran on a military base used by American troops in Iraq.
The American
President made this announcement in an address to the nation on the state of
affairs with Iran.
“As long as
I am the president of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a
nuclear weapon.
“I am
pleased to inform you the American people should be extremely grateful and
happy, no Americans were harmed in last night’s attack by the Iranian regime.
“We suffered
no casualties; all of our soldiers are safe and only minimal damage was
sustained at our military bases. Our great American forces are prepared for
anything.
“Iran
appears to be standing down which is a good thing for all parties concerned and
a good thing for the world,” the President said.
According to
Trump, no American or Iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken.
He stressed
that the dispersal of forces and an early warning system that worked very well
was enough to see that no casualties were recorded.
“I salute
the incredible skill and courage of America’s men and women in uniform for far
too long, all the way back to 1979 to be exact; nations have tolerated Iran’s
destructive and destabilizing behaviour in the middle east and beyond, those
days are over.
“Iran has
been the leading sponsor of terrorism and their pursuit of nuclear weapons
threatens the civilised world, we will never let that happen,” Trump stressed.
Trump
further stated that the US will immediately impose punishing economic sanctions
on the Iranian regime, adding that the powerful sanction will remain until Iran
changes its behavior.
The Potus
also said that he will ask NATO to become more involved in the Middle East
process.
