After Iran’s missile attacks on US military bases in Qatar and Iraq, President Donald Trump called the response as “very weak” and “expected.” In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump confirmed that Iran had launched 14 missiles following what he called the “obliteration” of Iranian nuclear facilities by the US and its allies. Of those, 13 were intercepted and one was allowed to proceed after being assessed as non-threatening.
“Iran has officially responded to our obliteration of their nuclear facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered,” Trump said.
He stated that no American lives were lost and damage was minimal, attributing the successful outcome to early warning signals from Iran.
“I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured,” Trump added. “Perhaps Iran can now proceed to peace and harmony in the region.”
Trump confirmed that there were no injuries to either American or Qatari personnel.
